Master of Tragedy  10 of Shakespeare’s 37 plays were tragedies  Created some of the most memorable characters in literature  Almost 400 yrs. after his death, his plays are still the most widely performed

Othello and Desdemona  Theme of doomed lovers popular in Shakespeare’s work  Othello fulfilled the concept of classic Greek tragic hero  Desdemona represented the innocent, proper female whose power lay in her beauty

Iago  Iago personifies evil in Othello  He is considered by most critics and Shakespeare fans to be one of the most interesting characters ever written

Conflict among 3 main characters  Othello appoints Cassio as his lieutenant rather than appointing Iago, but Iago feels he deserves the honor.  This exacerbates Iago’s hatred towards Othello, a hatred Iago secretly feels because he suspects Othello has slept with his wife Emilia.  Iago’s goal is to turn Othello against his wife Desdemona and ruin his life as he believes Othello has ruined his.

Secondary Characters The minor characters in Othello make important contributions to the plot and serve as pawns in Iago’s revenge plan. The minor characters in Othello make important contributions to the plot and serve as pawns in Iago’s revenge plan.
