Othello, Yeonsoo Kim

I was around 10 years old when I first read the story of Othello.
The book I read had all four tragedies written by Shakespeare and the Othello was one of them. Since I was young, I couldn’t find and understand the full meaning from the story but Othello was definitely the one which gave me strong impression out of four tragedies. I think what I realized from Othello is how jealousy can cause such chaotic ending for people’s life. Because the starting point was Iago’s raging jealousy and it ended up passing to Othello. When we get blind from jealousy or anger, we lose rationality and do not think why we are in that situation. People would have thought twice if we were not in emotional mood. But I think the reason Othello reacted so viciously is that he loved Desdemona and gave her trust that he couldn’t accept her betrayal.
