The Unforgivable Othello

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses that, while it is one thing to feel sympathy for Othello, the protagonist in Shakespeare's play, "Othello", it is another thing to forgive him for his anger and other bad behavior. It shows how Othello proves himself to be a man that acts spontaneously in addition to acting irrationally when it comes to matters of the heart.

From the Paper:

"This question tells Iago that Othello respects his opinion. In addition, Othello allows himself to be influenced by Iago when Iago warns him, "O, beware, my lord of jealousy!/It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock/The meat it feeds on" (III.iii.166-9). Iago knows that there is no reason for Othello to be jealous and Othello should know better but he does not. It is unforgivable that Othello allows Iago to have so much influence when it comes to matters of his intimate life with Desdemona."
