Othello misc2
If one reads Shakespeare's Othello, they can come to the conclusion that it might be one of the his most tragic plays ever written by Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet, is probably the most famous of his tragic plays, but Othello, has characteristics that, I think make it even more tragic then his other plays, and therefore for that reason, you can say that Othello is the most tragic hero. Othello is a noble man, one who has grace with the ladies but also possesses all the virtues of a military leader that he is. He is a general that is experienced in battle. He has shown that he is reliable and well known in the military and is well respected. His valiant personality, is what draws people to him, as it does for Desdemona. The senators value him and hear what he says when he speaks. This is shown here by one of the senators. "Here comes Barbantio and the valiant Moor", (Act I scene 3, 47) . This is an example of the many comments which shows Othello's character and personality as a person and an officer. They say he is one of the great leaders.

It is in this scene that Iago implants the suspicions and jealousy in Othello's head, which tragically bring about the events in the play. When she can not, it is set in his mind that she has been deceitful. One can see why Othello, might be Shakespeare's most tragic plays. Othello is jealous of Desdemona and Cassio, which can be somewhat understandable. A man of his word, and for that Othello is forever indebted. After the events of the loss of the handkerchief, shown clearly is the anger of Othello when he asks Desdemona to produce the handkerchief. At this point in time, Othello, says that Iago is a man of honor and trust, and therefore has no reason not to distrust him. When Othello asks to see the handkerchief and she can't show it to him, it makes him wonder. Desdemona pleads with Othello that she has been faithful and has done nothing wrong. It is Othello's jealousy and Iago's malicious manipulating that leads to the death of all of them. This is done to extend the play and also add to Othello's tragic flaws. Even though Iago is the villain of all villains, Othello's tragic flaw of jealousy, leads to his downfall.
