Desdemona ended up not telling Emilia who her killer was, leaving Othello seem “innocent” in a way. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909839 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909839 I believe that the ending is most definitely not appropriate nor fitting because at the end of the day, Desdemona did not deserve what Iago did to her. In all honesty, I believe that the person that he hurt the most with his all lies was Desdemona. Yes, Othello was very deeply heartbroken but like I previously said, Desdemona was the most effected one in this situation. Another reason of why I believe that the ending was not appropriate or fitting is because in my personal opinion, I think the it should’ve ended with Othello having a deep conversation with Desdemona regarding all those rumors that Iago was telling him (Othello) about her (Desdemona) and they could’ve probably solved the issue by just talking about it or finding out why Iago was telling Othello all these lies about Desdemona and or find where he was getting all these rumors from. They could've even possibly had Desdemona’s friend Emilia (Iagos wife) help them out regarding to what she knew about the handkerchief which she in-fact actually gave to her husband Iago. This would’ve possibly solved the issue. It also could've ended by Othello keeping his calm and not hurting Desdemona. Yes, they could've still argued but he could've just simply told her how he felt and he could’ve even broken up with her. In my opinion, when you love someone as much as he loved her, you would never do anything physical to hurt them which in this case he obviously did do and didn't think or care about his actions. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909840 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909840 I believe that the ending to this, including to his character, is actually appropriate and fitting. My reason to believing this is because he already killed his wife Desdemona, which he quickly realizes that he made a mistake on doing so. At that point, I believe it was best that he killed himself because I feel like his conscience was going to be very unsettling with the fact that he killed his own wife for something that she did not do. I also believe that he couldn’t live without Desdemona because of how much he claimed to love her, which actually fits their love story in some strange way. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909843 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909843 “Yet I’ll not shed her blood, Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow, And smooth as monumental alabaster. Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men.” fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909844 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909844 At first, I liked Othello because he seemed like a good guy. Very loving and caring towards Desdemona which pleased me very much. At the beginning of the play, he truly shows his love for Desdemona by giving her a handkerchief which symbolizes his loyalty and love for her. In conclusion, I did like him. But only at first. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909845 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909845 Ever since the very beginning of the play, I knew she was faithful and very loving to her lover, Othello. To me, she seemed like a very sweet lady who is in a very passionate romance with sir Othello. I personally really liked her at first and still do. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909847 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909847 At the end, Iago was confronted by Emilia. She was calling him a liar and a manipulator. This is when Iago stabs Emilia and takes off. Iago is eventually caught and was taken to prison. He was later on sentenced. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909849 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909849 He changed a good bit during the play. At the beginning of the play, Othello tends to have a lot of love for his wife Desdemona. His personality is very charming and bright overall. But as soon as Iago was started putting false accusations into his head which made him overthink his trust for Desdemona, he quickly became bitter and his vibe became dark, at least in my point of view. With all the love that he claims to have for Desdemona at the beginning of the play, you can tell he would never do absolutely anything to hurt her no matter what. But as Iago was telling Othello more and more false accusations about Desdemona, Othello becomes very angry and blocks himself from listening at least to Desdemona’s side of the story. He obviously does this because he believes that Iago is honest and truthful which was definitely not the case. Othello comes from loving his wife to the point where he would never do or say anything that could hurt her to hating her and both physically and mentally hurting her to the point where he kills her. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909851 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909851 Before she became Othello’s wife, she was very naive and innocent. But, once she married Othello everything changed for her. She became more exposed to society and the world, especially since she was the generals wife. With Iago manipulating Othello and putting false accusations into his head regarding Desdemona, there would be more arguments in Desdemona's and Othello’s marriage which was unusual since they loved each other very dearly. Towards the end of the play, in act 5 scene 2, you can clearly hear and see when Desdemona tells Othello to get in bed. Othello then tells her about the handkerchief, and that’s when Desdemona swears to him that she never had an affair with Cassio and that the incident about the lost handkerchief was all a misunderstanding. You can clearly see in Desdemona’s face that shes over all these accusations that Othello has against her. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909852 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909852 The main thing that changes during the play in Iago is his anger. it slowly but surely starts to escalate, which we can clearly tell by his manipulative statements that he tells to Othello. His main objective was to target Cassio, but as the play continues, we start to see how his target isn't only Cassio, but also Othello. At my point of view, he likes seeing Othello suffer which for some weird reason satisfies him. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909853 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909853 Othello realizes the huge mistake that he has done, which makes him commit suicide over Desdemona’s dead body (that he just killed). fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909855 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909855 *Emilia confronts Iago*: “You told a lie, an odious, damnèd lie! Upon my soul, a lie, a wicked lie! She false with Cassio? Did you say with Cassio?” fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909856 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909856 I believe it is not fitting nor appropriate because I believe that he should’ve been the one to die. It’s most seen in many story’s/plays, that the villain dies which is normally karma that they get for all the bad they’ve done. But unfortunately, the ones that died were Othello and Desdemona. Yes, Iago got jail time but that doesn’t make up for both of their deaths. I would’ve hoped for a much worse ending for Iago, therefore no, the ending was not fitting. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909857 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909857 I never liked this character at all. He seemed and is a very manipulative person, which gave me a sense that something bad was going to happen and he would be the cause of it. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909858 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909858 “I kiss'd thee ere I kill'd thee: no way but this; Killing myself, to die upon a kiss.” fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909860 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909860 Roderigo is characterized as somewhat weak and a bit on the whiny side. 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. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909862 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909862 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. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909863 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909863 "O damned Iago! O inhuman dog!" - Act 5, Scene 1, line 74 fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909865 Iago has just delivered the killing blow to Roderigo.]]> 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909865 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. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909866 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909866 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. fernandezsa056 https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909867 2023-04-07 04:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fernandezsa056/prr5bb8jeigfeouy/wish/2546909867
