I am beginning to write a paper on Othello and thought of a
sure way to get a badly deserved A. I am exploring the way that
Iago hates Othello. Iago couldn't hate Othello for just passing
him over for a promotion. It can be attributed to this and another
point. Iago states somewhere in the play about horns on his head
and adultry. Our professor brought up the point that the horns back
then symbolized that he felt his wife was unfaithful. Could Iago
not only hate Othello for not giving him the promotion but hate
him for also sleeping with his wife? I think so. I also think
that Iago's continious mistreatment of women throughout the play
can be attributed to this. I am still pulling the research together but,
i feel my professor is going to throw a fit (a good one) when i
turn this in.Posted by Chris Van Hook on May 09, 1997 at 20:04:08
