This is a play written by Shakespeare. That's all that needs to be said. Good night..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah, i'm just pulling your leg. The Tragedy of Othello is quite the interesting play. Being a tragedy, it also holds elements of comedy and romance. Shakespeare really brings puns, sly sayings, and comedy over all to life. Basically, he's really slick, but he's also very smart. By putting comedy in a tragedy, especially after serious scenes, he relieves the audience from the intensity of the scenes. He does this quite often in the Tragedy Othello. For example Iago spends a lot of time making fun of women. Namely he makes fun of his wife. Its funny, but rude, but still funny, slightly. Another thing he does is deploy the use of symbolism and extensive use of foreshadowing. For example, at Cyprus, one thing that causes a great stir is the giant storm going on, and the winds. The tempest was very symbolic. What is represents it the tragic event to occur in the life of Othello, who happens to be lost in the tempest. This foreshadows the coming of a tempest into the life of Othello. The scene is meant to effect the audience. All the while, Iago, the backstabbing 2-faced jealous wanna-be Lieutenant, is still connivingly planning for the downfall of Roderigo, Cassius, Desdemona, and ultimately Othello. He has several aside's to tell the audience what is on his mind. Through these we find his true intentions.Thus he begins to execute his plan to fulfill his desires. Oh and Othello finally consummates his marriage. We can't leave that part out. After all it only leads to Shakespeare's ever comedic jokes between Cassius and Iago the jester. They go sing-song. Maybe that's where Bollywood gets it from. The only difference is that Bollywood songs have to be super long and have some good dancing in it to be a hit. :P Iago is very sly, and "a great adviser," to Cassius at least. So far his plan is going to his liking. Cassius has lost his position, Othello is mad at him, and Cassius is going to get on his knees for Desdemona....to beg for assistance of course. It also seems that every act ends with more plotting by the mind of Iago. That guy... tch tch tch...This is stuff about Othello and stuff that happened in act 2 as I read it.
