othello-essay-5

Iago is arguably the most interesting character in the play. For this paper, analyze his motives (passionate) for doing what he does to Othello and to the other characters in the play. Is it thwarted ambition, sexual jealousy, or pure spite? Does he articulate a clear philosophy to explain his behavior (what does he mean when he says “I am not what I am”)? Does class identity play a part in his cynicism?

Othello, William Shakespeare

If you can relate something of Othello and Vita Nuova from Dante will be pretty nice, just two or 3 sentences related to that in the essay will be fine.

MLA format. No citation is needed. References you can use Vita Nuova by Dante Alighieri, but that is all.

Please do not write this as a summary of the story, but address each question with critical thinking.

Also, if you can please relate something of Othello and Vita Nuova from Dante.

Thank you.
