Othello

All of the characters are introduced that will appear throughout the play, each with their own story to tell. Throughout the whole play I easily became frustrate with Iago's behavior. His deceitfulness and lies could have been easily disproved by Othello. I wonder how the story would have played out if Othello wasn't so easily persuasive and gullible. Since Othello and Desdemona's marriage was so perfect in the beginning, it was obvious to me that it would be ruined by the end of the tragic play.


I also mentioned in class how I never understood who Emilia was faithful to, Iago or Desdemona. Shakespeare never makes it clear enough for the reader to understand. This also bothered me as I read the story.
