The play Othello is a dramatic tragedy. In the play Iago seeks revenge on Othello for not choosing him as lieutenant. Iago knew that Othello was insecure in some areas, so he makes him believe his wife Desdemona is cheating on him with Cassio. The lies that Iago tells Othello about Desdemona's affection toward Cassio turns him into a jealous rage. Iago wife Emilia gives him the hankerchief that Desdemona lost so he uses that to frame her. Othello kills Desdemona because he believs she was unfaithful. Emilia told Othello the truth about her husband plot. So Othello goes and wound Iago. Iago kills Emilia for telling Othello the truth about him and Othello kills himself beacuse he found out his wife was innocent. After Iago killed his wife Emilia he was carried away in chains and Cassio became governor. This play was very intersting and sad at the same time. I believe that is how many people get caught up in the moment because they listen to others and not t
rusting their mate. It is good to know your mate, because one never know when a so called close friend, is out to get them.THE GLOBE THEATER
