Othello,my fellow,you should have been more mellow

     So Othello is getting more and more ridiculous.He uses the handkerchief and his witnessing of Cassio's laughter as his "last straw" to kill Desdemona.He doesn't believe her because he is already set in his ways,stubborn in the worst kind of way.It's interesting how something so simple like a handkerchief can create such problems.What's even more interesting is how important circumstances and timing are and how they affect us.Bianca giving Cassio the handkerchief just as Othello was looking was a stroke of luck for Iago and the breaking point for Othello.As for Othello,he shows truly how the ones you love most are the ones you sometimes hurt the most.He is consumed by many things(jealousy,revenge for honor) and while he doesn't forget that he loves her,he forgets why.Sometimes,we find all these small reasons and put them together to form our opinion or to justify our actions.As seen by the conversation between Emilia and Desdemona,you can see how good and faithful Desdemona is,as compared to Emilia(who isn't bad,she just rationalizes cheating).Desdemona is also really ironically smart;she says her sheets are her deathbed and her statement becomes true!
     After all the commotion of everybody killing each other(just an everyday occurrence for the world of Shakespeare) it is Emilia who saves the day.Through her perseverance and honesty, everyone find out the truth about Iago and his scheme.Funny how such an originally small character would end up having such an important part in the end.It really shows the way life is;sometimes the people and things that you would least expect to matter,do.In the end,Othello says that he loved not wisely but too much.That means that he was using his heart but not his brain.There is no doubt that he loved Desdemona because if he didn't he might not have cared so much that she was supposedly cheating.The problem was that he didn't use his intelligence to figure out that not only was he being played,but that that relationships are hard and you have to work at them.I can't hate my job and decide to kill my boss.That won't fix anything.His speech at the end didn't fix my opinion of him.People who are noble and dignified don't do the stuff that he did;that's why they're considered noble!If we forgive him then why don't we forgive all murders and evildoers?After all, they must have had good qualities at some point.Othello just shows us that no matter how people view others of nobility,high class,and in the media, they're just like us.Or in the case of Othello,worse.
