In an essay of at least 500 words, discuss why you think Othello
did to Desdemona what he did at the end of the play. (I'm using
vague language here to avoid spoilers here!) What he did was
wrong and even unthinkable, and yet he did it. Shakespeare
offers a number of hints throughout the play of what would
drive a man to do such a thing. Discuss what these are. Why
was Othello so vulnerable to Iago's plot? Some of the issues to
consider are racism of the Venetians, Othello's own insecurity
at being a racial and cultural outsider, Othello's military
background, Othello's lack of understanding of his own
character, and so forth. I would suggest first reading through
the handout "Othello Interpretations" for some ideas.
