Deception and Betrayal in Othello
joke and high treason are what stupefy the story of Othello, written by William Shakespeare. From the beginning of the mash, Iago, Othellos say closest friend and confidant, is make full with jealousy and resentment. This is a sedate mixture that foreshadows Iagos treason to several people after in the play. This outrageous traitorousness is what instigates all of the action that happens in Othello, and also indirectly causes the death of worldly concerny important characters.\nThe play opens with Iago ranting to his friend, Roderigo, about how he has not received the typeset of police lieutenant, scarcely rather a less qualified man has received it instead. Three swell ones of the city (In personal subject to make me his lieutenant) Off-capped to him, and by the conviction of man I get laid my price, I am worth(predicate) no worse a place...For Certes, says he,\nI have already chose my officer. And what was he? Forsooth, a majuscule arithmetician, One Michael Cass io, a Florentine (I. i. 9-21). Iagos jealousy drives him to object against Cassio, and gets him drunk, in a maculation to get Cassio stripped of his position. His innovation works, and Othello relieves Cassio of his title. However, taking the title of Lieutenant away from Cassio does not seems to return Iago enough, and leads to one of the most illustrious treasons in literature and theatre, the betrayal of Othello.\nThe most action in the story happens during Iagos betrayal of his commander and closest friend. end-to-end the play, the audience sees the transformation that Iago seems to go through as he turns from slightly conniving to evil, and this in itself is what contributes to the story the most and makes it interesting. As the truth about Iago unfolds further, it is revealed that he is not simply tricking Othello because he wants revenge against him for making Cassio Lieutenant, but because he believes that Othello has slept with his own wife. For that I do suspect the prurient Moor hath leaped into my sea...
