Paper Summary:

"Othello" by William Shakespeare is a unique tragedy in that it focuses on the destruction of love through sexual jealousy. The paper describes how Othello is plagued with his ego and pride, which contributes to his demise. Othello is, however, a truly romantic character because he is very passionate and full of deep feelings. The paper examines what brought the sweet Desdemona to be his wife.

From the Paper:

"However, Iago is sure to be the devil's advocate if occasion shall arise. Desdemona just happens to be there to give him the leverage he needs. She plays right into his hands by defending Cassio. Again she works as a tool to Othello's demise by losing the handkerchief. Emilia here also loads the gun of deception by handing her mistress's handkerchief to her husband. Desdemona is apparently unaware that she is destroying her husband by being herself. Her actions coupled with Iago's twisted desire for power bring Othello to his knees."
