Othello has no social status due to the issue of race so therefore he is painted as a man of power via military so the only way in which he is used to acting is within a warlike environment.

At the end of the play, lodovico implores the audience and Iago to ‘look upon the tragic loading of this bed’ completing the tragedy by having all of Iago’s dead victims (except ordering) as a result of his manipulation of othello piled on the bed

Emilia is a victim of love and another victim of the abuse of women by men. However, unlike Desdemona, who dies claiming she herself is responsible for her own death and wishing to be commended to her ‘kind lord’, Emilia unleashes a tirade of rebukes on the ‘dull Moor’ who has been so gulled and also on her husband, delivering a blow to male authority when she denounces him.

Othello is inherently isolated and separate from, the values of Venetian society- he will never feel fully accepted or as if he belongs. This makes Othello that much more susceptible to the manipulation of Iago and the assertion that he is not deserving or worthy of his wife and as such her alleged infidelity was inevitable.

Emilia and Desdemona are both tragic victims, however, while desdemona dies taking the responsibility for her death, Emilia blames Iago and othello, refusing to remain loyal to the hero and villain

Has military power and influence but does not fit into Venetian society due to his race and background

Othello is of high status as an army general but is closer to the ‘ordinary man’ than other Shakespeare tragic heroes who are usually kings or European noblemen

# data[].attributes.body
Although, as a general, Othello holds a high military rank in the Venetian army, in terms of his tragic status he is not a king or a nobleman and so in a way, he is a figure much closer to that of an ‘ordinary’ man than most of Shakespeare’s other tragic heroes. Othello has military power but no status in Venetian society because of his colour and race.

Desdemona is a victim as she is murdered by her husband for a crime she does not commit, and plotted against by Iago, perhaps for challenging the authority of men (she tells Emelia not to ‘learn’ of Iago though he is her husband). She is often portrayed on stage as a childlike young bride and yet Shakespeare suggests in the first act that she is a woman of spirit and independence who knows her own mind. She defies the expectations and desires of her father to marry a man of his choice. Instead she marries the black soldier Othello and determines to travel with him to Cyprus. There she is manipulated by a series of male figures, and strangled in her bed by Othello.

Setting

Tragedy of love and tragedy of revenge

Othello's fatal flaw = jealousy. His lack of self esteem is something which manifests itself in intense jealousy, which is manipulated by Iago, driving Othello to enact his own downfall

# data[].attributes.body
The main action of the play is set in Cyprus, away from the known, civilised world of Venice. The setting of Cyprus allows Shakespeare to place his characters in a world without the boundaries that would be imposed upon them in an established city. Cyprus is less controlled, a bastion of male power where Desdemona, alone and isolated from her support system, she is vulnerable to the manipulation of Iago.
