“Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.”(Francois de La Rochefoucauld).Othello was a general in charge of Venice, Italy. He was a soldier who came from Africa, with a reputation of being a military hero. Othello chose a young and less experienced soldier to be second in command, Michael Cassio. Jealous, Iago believed that he was more qualified for the second in command position and so he planned to get revenge on Othello. Iago was two-faced, he planned to ruin Othello while pretending to be his friend. Roderigo is someone who also hates Othello because he was in love with Othello’s wife, Desdemona. He then Unites with Iago to harm Othello so he can get Desdemona’s love. Jealousy is a bitter emotion or feeling towards someone who takes what is yours.In Othello, William Shakespeare created the most evil person in all of literature, Iago. Iago wanted revenge on Othello because he gave the second in command position to Cassio, which Iago believed was not qualified for the position. Out of revenge, Iago successfully planted the seeds of jealousy into Othello’s mind when in the garden he insinuated that Cassio and Desdemona were having an affair, when Iago had his wife, Emilia, steal the strawberry embroidered handkerchief and when iago lied to Othello about Cassio’s so-called wild dream. Out of revenge, Iago successfully planted the seeds of jealousy into Othello’s mind when in the garden he insinuated that Cassio and Desdemona were having an affair. Iago told Cassio that he should ask Desdemona to try to convince her husband to forgive him. Her husband, Othello was never doubtful of Desdemona’s love to him. What Cassio and Othello didn’t know was that Iago’s intention was to manipulate the scenery from the beginning. Iago implied that Desdemona and Cassio were having an affair after he set them up in a way that made Othello begin his distrust. What Othello didn’t know was that Desdemona and Cassio were childhood friends. Which was in Iago’s favor because it made it much more easier to manipulate the scene. The reason is simply because Desdemona and Cassio were already close. Iago implied that Desdemona and Cassio were in love after he manipulated the scene.Othello believed him because unlike Iago who had lived all his life in Venice, Othello came from Africa. He believed that Iago was a faithful soldier to him, so he took his word. Iago implied that Venetian women tend to cheat on their husband after he tried to make Othello believe that Desdemona and Cassio were in love. Iago never directly said Desdemona and Cassio were having an affair. He manipulated Othello until the thought of jealousy. Once it did, Iago told othello to “Beware of Jealousy“. Iago was successful in planting first seeds of jealousy into the mind of Othello. Out of revenge, Iago successfully planted the seeds of jealousy into Othello’s mind when Iago had his wife, Emilia, steal the strawberry embroidered handkerchief. Othello gave Desdemona the Strawberry embroidered handkerchief. Othello’s mother got it from a fortune keeper so it would strengthen her relationship with her husband so he won’t cheat on her. She gave it to Othello because it worked for her and it would keep his marriage happy. Othello’s first gift of love to Desdemona was the handkerchief. Desdemona valued it. She talked to it. She did this because it reminded her of Othello. It was symbolic of Othello’s love. If Desdemona lost the handkerchief it would cause terrible things to happen as they are no longer being protected by it. Desdemona lost the …show more content…
Othello wanted evidence of Desdemona cheating on him. Iago’s evidence was Cassio’s so-called wild dream about Desdemona. Iago told Othello that one night Cassio slept over Iago’s house and Cassio had a wild dream about his wife. Iago said that while Cassio was sleeping he cried out “Sweet Desdemona.”. Cassio next got out of his sleep and kissed Iago’s hand. Cassio then threw his legs on top of Iago’s lap and kissed him because he thought Iago was Desdemona. Iago lied to Othello. Othello believed it. This made Othello become insanely jealous. Iago was successful at planting the third seed of
