Rationale
My written task is based on a book named Othello written by william shakespeare in 1622. This book is a tragic love story or play which is really interesting and I enjoyed reading it. For that, I wanted my written task to be an emotional discourse and I have centered my topic on Roderigo’s secret love and his emotions for Desdemona. Thus, I have decided to write my written task in the form of diary. Because, a diary is where we can write everything and give vent to our hidden emotions that we can’t share with others.The purpose for this was to show through this diary,Roderigo’s jealousy for Othello and his intense love for Desdemona. To express my thoughts, I used the language of love and kindness to show that Roderigo is

I am sitting here in my room and watching outside from the window. It’s raining and seems like the sky is crying with me. However, no one is as sad as me right now. You know Desdemona is my purpose of life with whom I wanted to spend my entire life. I don’t know how much I loved her, as I thought it earlier that I will forget her but It really is a hard and toughest thing to forget her.
Oh, my love Desdemona, I really feel depressed that I’ve lost you forever. Your beauty has fascinated me so much and realized me what love is?
Every time when I think about you, some magical feelings occurs in my mind but alas, there is so much pain in my heart that I lost you and sometimes I feel jealous from my rival Othello who is the luckiest person in the world, as he has found your love and loyalty.
For me, you are an angel I thought we will marry and live a happy life but alas, my all idealistic dreams are dashed to ground when you chose Othello as your better half. My heart is still broken and there is nothing in this world that can fix it. You are very special to me. No one has made me cry as much as your marriage with my rival othello with whom I feel jealous, and want to demolish

Othello: A Close Reading This is an analysis of the lines 260-279 of the third scene of the third act of Shakespeare’s Othello. In an attempt to fulfill the incessant need for comfortable dichotomies, societies tend to be divided into two groups: the ‘in-crowd’ and the ‘others’. These strict dualities, constructed upon the inherent need for adversaries, are often as arbitrary as they are false and based on nothing but fear.
The following passage is significant to the play ‘Othello’ in retrospect to the plot progression, as it reiterates themes and introduces important facets to the plot development. Through Iago’s cunning manipulation and Shakespeare’s crafting of language, this passage is constructed as a pivotal point of the play, marking the transition of Othello’s personality and revealing his deepest insecurities that eventually lead to his downfall and tragic ending. Iago wields a lot of power over all the characters throughout the play, but in this passage in particular he is presented at his most powerful. The passage is riddled with subtle suggestions and insinuations by Iago to raise Othello’s suspicions of his wife’s fidelity, opening with the admonition to “beware, my lord, of jealousy!
William Shakespeare’s “Othello” was a great example to showcase sacrifices made by characters to accomplish revenge or obtain power. Shakespeare told the story of Othello, a tragic hero, who was manipulated by Iago, which motivated him to kill his own wife. From this story, Shakespeare’s main goal was to portray characters making sacrifices for their ambitions. From this play, Shakespeare puts forth the idea of sacrifice through pointing out the importance of reputation and how sacrifices must be made to silence the truth.
Nadia In the play Othello, by William Shakespeare, the title character is a valiant hero who is in love with his beautiful bride, Desdemona. The play’s villain, Iago, destroys this love by feeding Othello vicious lies about Desdemona, causing Othello to slowly go mad. By the end of the play, Othello, in a fit of jealous rage, murders his wife. This significant change in Othello’s character is not sudden; rather, it is a gradual transformation that takes place after a series of events that occur throughout the play.
In the play Othello, by William Shakespeare we are introduced to Othello who is the protagonist and faces a lot of obstacles, one of them being betrayal. Throughout the whole play we witness betrayal from many of the characters through their irrational behavior and actions. However the biggest betrayal we see is from Iago, who is the antagonist, in other words, the villain of the play. Iago plans on having his revenge and betraying Othello, Desdemona, Cassio, Rodrigo and even his wife, Emilia. Betrayal is wrong and something that can’t be forgiven, at the end betrayal breaks friendships as well as lives and trust which never works out well in the end.
In the beginning of the tragedy Othello tells Brabantio to “Keep up your bright swords signior, for the dew will rust them” (1.2.72-73). This statement gives the reader insight to Othello’s level-head and smart decisions, before he allowed jealousy to cloud his vision. Othello becomes convinced that Desdemona has cheated on him with Cassio; therefore, he is angered and beings to seek revenge for a crime that was never committed. Iago tells Othello “O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds on” (3.3.187-189).
“In life, there is always a beginning, a middle and an end, sometimes in order… others… just all over the place. The day of my wedding to Tom Buchanan was a time of both great joy and great longing in my heart.” Daisy confided in Jordan “You should know, I trust you with some of the most important details. Though I never really could settle on what I truly wanted from either Tom or Jay.” Daisy looked down at her hands, listening to Jordan respond and offer reassurance or help, though not entirely sure of either, she began to lose herself in thoughts and memories.
Roderigo also feels that same very fear Othello does, as he is talking with Iago after the Duke and senators leave the room, he states, “It is silliness to live when to live is torment” (Othello I,iii, 303). Roderigo is heart broken at having witness to Brabantio- Desdemona’s father- giving his blessing to Othello and Desdemona’s marriage, for he was so in love with Desdemona, it simply makes him want to die to not have her, in fear that he has lost her forever to the Moor general. Roderigo is so in love with the Venetian woman, that he would do whatever he could- even die to have her, no cost whether money or his own life- could get in his way. These two- envy and fear- power jealous up
In the play “Othello” by William Shakespeare showed how the lies and the jealousy of others can ruin a relationship . Throughout the history of this play people have understood it as a “triad of nobility,purity, and villainy.” A literary critic, Michael Andrews noted the significance of the handkerchief that was used in the play. “Othello tells Desdemona that the handkerchief is a love-controlling talisman his mother received from an Egyptian "charmer.” The gift that Desdemona receives is used to represent a symbol of Othello’s love.
Shakespeare excelled in delivering a piece that is comedic, relatable and unpredictable in its essence. As I progress through this essay, I will analyze one of its’ major themes, which is the controversy of love and how it involves some of the characters in the story. Love is often called the most beautiful sentiment a human can ever feel, yet, very often it can cause so much pain and despair, causing it to be very controversial and
Shakespeare’s play, Othello, deeply explores the effects of jealousy on a person. Shakespeare also portrays the different types of jealousy and alludes to the causes of them. Othello is a tragic play written by William Shakespeare around 1603, about a man, Iago, who plots to take revenge on a Moorish soldier, Othello, for he has “done my (Iago’s) office”. The deaths of several people, including Othello’s wife Desdemona, Iago’s wife Emilia, Othello and Iago’s companion Roderigo, were all directly linked to Iago’s actions. Othello illustrates that jealousy often leads to revenge, jealousy can prevent a successful relationship, and jealousy leading to one’s downfall.
If Roderigo exposed Iago when he said he would, a lot of misfortune would not have occurred. Therefore, Roderigo demonstrates the dark side of human nature by being jealous and unintelligent. To conclude, the dark side of human nature is demonstrated by Iago who is selfish, Brabantio who is doubtful, and Roderigo who lacks cleverness. William Shakespeare’s Othello shows how easy it is to let emotions take over one’s mind.
Jealousy does not merely destroy the bonds of love, but also alters the lives of the people involved. In The Tragedy of Othello by William Shakespeare, Othello’s entire life is ripped apart by the detrimental lies fed to him by Iago involving his wife Desdemona. William Shakespeare uses imagery, as well as personification to paint a vivid image in the reader’s mind of how jealousy can completely shatter someone’s life In The Tragedy of Othello.
I realize something. Something that I should realize since the beginning. That I still in love with you, Sana unnie. You the one that I always think every single day even when I was with her. I hope you come back to me and erase this pain you left inside my heart.
O’ Romeo, my dearest Romeo! It pains me so to write this, and the very thought of you not being beside me is a stab in my heart. I urge my tears not to fall as I pen this-for you are alive, and not dead, and I must rejoice in this. It pains me so that we are only just wed, yet we must be separated. I can still feel your light kiss lingering above my brow, when you bid me farewell.
