He's not a true military man and appears to be somewhere in the hierarchy of nobility as he has land that he will sell in order to "fill his purse" with money. (Which Iago eventually "bobs" for himself.) Roderigo is also very gullible and allows Iago to lead him on constantly. This character is mostly a static character, but has a tendency to be almost dynamic because he is slowly becoming more dissatisfied with Iago. He remains on the edge of skepticism of Iago's plans and always allows himself to be persuaded one more time, which is what prevents him from making a complete change in his character. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543984912 2023-04-04 17:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543984912 Over the course of the play, Roderigo has become increasingly disillusioned with Iago's ability to help him get Desdemona. By Act 4, scene 3, Roderigo is ready to give up on Desdemona and go back to Venice, but Iago persuades him to try one more time for Des, and so Roderigo agrees to help kill Cassio. In Act 5, Scene 1, when Roderigo ambushes Cassio, it all goes wrong; Roderigo fails to kill Cassio but is wounded BY Cassio. Iago later finishes Roderigo off, but not before Roderigo realizes, as he is gasping his last, that Iago is an "inhuman dog" who has betrayed him, and probably meant to all along. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543984913 2023-04-04 17:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543984913 "O damned Iago! O inhuman dog!" - Act 5, Scene 1, line 74 connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543984915 Iago has just delivered the killing blow to Roderigo.]]> 2023-04-04 17:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543984915 At the beginning of the play in Act 1, Roderigo comes across as Iago's sidekick who is working with him because he desires Desdemona for himself. His partnership with Iago is mostly friendly, but if they didn't have a common link, I don't think the two of them would spend much time together. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543984917 2023-04-04 17:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543984917 Roderigo's ending foreshadows the death and revelation of betrayal of Othello himself, because in the instant of Roderigo's last line, the character realizes Iago probably was going to kill him all along, betraying his trust just as Iago betrays the trust of Othello. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543984918 2023-04-04 17:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543984918 At the beginning of the play from Act 1, I thought that Desdemona was just a normal, young, and impulsive woman. She dropped everything for love, she was innocent and hopeful for her life. She was, and remained throughout the duration of the play, a kind woman. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543988810 2023-04-04 17:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543988810 Desdemona is characterized as a young romantic, in love with love. She is shown as an obedient wife, doing everything and anything for Othello, even when he isn’t good to her. Desdemona is a static character, even when Othello hits her, repeatedly accuses her of being unfaithful, and she spends hours begging that he believe her, she still loves him and continues to show her love for him even after he strangles her. She would do anything for Othello, even at the end of the play. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543994322 2023-04-04 17:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543994322 Desdemona waits for Iago to come to bed in Act 5, Scene 2. She is accused of being unfaithful and she insists one last time that Othello has been deceived, she has done no such thing. Othello then strangles her and Desdemona is able to awake for a few last seconds before she passes away for good. In those few seconds, she has the opportunity to tell Emilia that Othello did this to her, but she does not. She instead shows her love once again for Othello by saying that he had nothing to do with it. Desdemona was blinded by love, all the way until the end. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543998415 2023-04-04 17:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2543998415 “ A guiltless death I die.” - Act 5, Scene 2, line 150. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2544000197 Desdemona is saying her last words after being smothered, she claims her innocence in her last dying breaths. ]]> 2023-04-04 17:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2544000197 I think that it is appropriate because in this time, I guess people just killed people. Othello suspected unfaithfulness and he wouldn’t stand for that. He was given all the proof that he needed by Iago, and now she had to die. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2544001512 2023-04-04 17:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2544001512 At first, I thought Othello was a powerful man that charmed a young girl. He was very sweet and kind to his Desdemona and everyone around him. He was way too trusting from the beginning. I thought he was stupid from letting one thing like this getting in between his marriage and he didn’t even try to fix it. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2544971310 2023-04-05 13:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2544971310 Othello changes drastically during the play. Othello starts off as a kind man, very trustworthy and seemingly would never hurt anyone. He takes young Desdemona in and loves her strongly. As the play goes on, Othello begins to turn cold, “… my heart is turned to stone.” (4.1.223) his language and attitude changing towards Desdemona and everyone else. He goes from referring to Desdemona as “sweet Desdemon” (3.3.60) to “w h o r e ” (5.2.162). connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545274731 2023-04-05 17:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545274731 In the end Othello finally realized that he had been betrayed and manipulated. He had just killed his loving and innocent wife over rumors, he let the person he trusted most convince him that he should kill his wife. He then felt so guilty about it that he stabbed himself in the stomach, killing himself. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545277338 2023-04-05 17:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545277338 “ Killing myself, to die upon a kiss.” - (Act5, Scene 2, line 421) connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545278748 This is right after Othello stabs himself.]]> 2023-04-05 17:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545278748 I think that this ending was appropriate because everyone ended up dying because of what happened. He killed his guiltless wife, how could someone live with this? He was inevitably going to die, it is a Shakespearean Tragedy after all. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545284666 2023-04-05 17:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545284666 Iago doesn’t really ever change, I think he stays the same throughout the play. He starts off wanting revenge, manipulating people and continues to do that throughout the entire play. He never shows regret or remorse. He even killed his wife because she went against him. He really just didn’t care. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545297039 2023-04-05 17:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545297039 “ From this time forth I never will speak word.” - (Act 5, Scene 2, line 355) connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545299032 Emilia has exposed him, people know that he lied and instead of owning up to it he decides to keep his mouth shut and just not speak about it. ]]> 2023-04-05 17:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545299032 Iago at the end is exposed by his wife Emilia, he ends up killing her for it and shows no remorse. He causes like 5 peoples death in the end, but he never dies. It’s evil. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545300070 2023-04-05 17:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2545300070 Through the entire play from the beginning I’ve thought that Iago was a horrible person. He’s been friends with Othello for years, gained his trust and he’s just turning on him just like that? I think it’s awful of him to betray a lifelong friend for a job. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2546489674 2023-04-06 17:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2546489674 Im conflicted on whether i think this is what should’ve happened or not. I believe that karma should’ve came around and people found out sooner, he should’ve been killed for getting others killed. Then again, at the end he is exposed and then taken away, is he going to be tortured? Killed? Let go? We don't really find out. connollype064 https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2546492403 2023-04-06 17:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/connollype064/fruodd26iythjjap/wish/2546492403
