# Describe any 3 major character of othello:-
Othello
Othello is the noble Moorish general in the Venetian army, admired for his bravery, leadership, and military success. Despite his high rank, he feels insecure about his race and status as an outsider in Venetian society. His deep love for Desdemona is genuine, but his trust in Iago and his own jealousy lead to his downfall. Othello’s tragic flaw is his inability to see through deception, which makes him vulnerable to Iago’s manipulation. By the end, his passion and insecurity transform him from a respected leader into a jealous murderer, making him a true Shakespearean tragic hero.
Iago
Iago is Othello’s ensign and the main antagonist of the play. He is one of Shakespeare’s most cunning and manipulative villains, motivated by jealousy and ambition after being passed over for promotion. Iago is a master of deceit, using lies, half-truths, and insinuations to turn Othello against Desdemona. He pretends to be honest and loyal while secretly plotting the destruction of those around him. His ability to exploit the weaknesses of others makes him especially dangerous. Unlike Othello, Iago lacks a moral conscience and takes pleasure in causing pain, making him the driving force behind the tragedy.
Desdemona
Desdemona is the virtuous and devoted wife of Othello, as well as the daughter of Brabantio, a Venetian senator. She defies the expectations of her society by marrying Othello, choosing love over wealth and social status. Desdemona is loyal, compassionate, and innocent, standing as a symbol of purity and true love. However, her goodness becomes her weakness, as she is unable to defend herself against Othello’s false accusations of infidelity. Despite her suffering, she remains faithful to her husband until her tragic death. Desdemona’s character highlights the themes of innocence, loyalty, and the destructive power of jealousy.
#Describe any two miner character of othello:-
Brabantio
Brabantio is a Venetian senator and the father of Desdemona. He represents the traditional Venetian values of honor, reputation, and social status. When he learns that his daughter has secretly married Othello, a Moor, he feels betrayed and humiliated. Brabantio accuses Othello of using witchcraft to win Desdemona’s love, showing his prejudice and inability to accept their union. Although he eventually accepts the Duke’s judgment, his disapproval foreshadows the social tensions that haunt Othello and Desdemona’s marriage. Brabantio’s role is small but significant, as it sets the stage for the conflict between love, race, and society.
Roderigo
Roderigo is a foolish and wealthy Venetian gentleman who is in love with Desdemona. He is easily manipulated by Iago, who exploits his obsession with Desdemona for money and as a tool in his schemes against Othello. Roderigo’s gullibility and desperation make him a pawn in Iago’s plans, leading him to take part in violent acts, such as the attack on Cassio. However, when Roderigo begins to suspect Iago’s betrayal, Iago murders him to silence him. Roderigo’s character represents blind lust and the danger of being misled by false promises.

Unit :-1&2Othello
About the author:-
William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 (baptised) – 23 April 1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England’s national poet and the “Bard of Avon”. His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of around38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, of which the authorship of some is uncertain. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later known as the King’s Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613 at age 49, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare’s private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories and these works remain regarded as some of the best work produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest works in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as romances, and collaborated with other playwrights.
Character:-
Othello
Othello, the Moorish general in the Venetian army, is the central tragic hero of the play. He is noble, brave, and admired for his military victories. Despite his strength as a leader, he is vulnerable because of his outsider status and his deep insecurities about race and age. His passionate love for Desdemona makes him both tender and protective, but also overly trusting of Iago’s lies. Othello’s downfall comes from his tragic flaw—jealousy—which blinds him to truth and leads him to murder Desdemona before realizing her innocence. In the end, he dies by his own hand, a victim of manipulation and his own weaknesses.
Desdemona
Desdemona is the gentle and virtuous wife of Othello, and the daughter of Brabantio, a Venetian senator. She shows courage and independence by marrying Othello secretly, defying the expectations of her society. Desdemona is loyal, pure, and deeply loving, yet her kindness is misunderstood. Her attempts to speak on behalf of Cassio are twisted by Iago to suggest infidelity. Despite Othello’s cruelty and harsh words, she remains faithful and forgiving, tragically submitting to her husband’s jealous rage. Her death represents innocence destroyed by suspicion and deceit.
Iago
Iago, Othello’s ensign, is one of Shakespeare’s most cunning and ruthless villains. Outwardly loyal and honest, he hides a calculating and bitter nature. Angered by Othello’s choice of Cassio as lieutenant, he plots revenge, using lies, manipulation, and people’s weaknesses as his weapons. Iago skillfully exploits Othello’s insecurities and orchestrates the downfall of several characters, including Cassio, Roderigo, and ultimately Othello himself. He shows no remorse for his actions and remains silent when exposed. Through Iago, Shakespeare explores themes of evil, jealousy, and the destructive power of deception.
Cassio
Cassio, Othello’s lieutenant, is young, handsome, and courteous, admired for his charm but inexperienced in battle. He is genuinely loyal to Othello and respectful toward Desdemona, though his polite manners are misinterpreted as signs of an affair. Cassio values his reputation greatly, and when Iago tricks him into losing his position through drunken misconduct, he becomes desperate to regain Othello’s favor. Despite being used as a pawn in Iago’s schemes, Cassio survives and is later appointed governor of Cyprus after Othello’s death.
Emilia
Emilia, Iago’s wife and Desdemona’s attendant, is practical, outspoken, and deeply aware of men’s flaws. Though she initially aids her husband by giving him Desdemona’s handkerchief, she later reveals his treachery when Desdemona is accused of infidelity. Her courage in speaking the truth costs her life, as Iago murders her. Emilia’s character highlights the themes of loyalty, honesty, and the limited freedom of women in a male-dominated society.
Roderigo
Roderigo is a wealthy Venetian gentleman foolishly infatuated with Desdemona. His obsession makes him an easy target for Iago’s manipulation. Believing Iago’s promises, Roderigo spends his wealth and risks his life to win Desdemona, but is repeatedly deceived. In the end, he realizes Iago’s treachery but is killed before he can expose him. Roderigo’s character illustrates gullibility and the dangers of blind passion.

Summary:-
Act I
The play begins in Venice at night. Roderigo, a wealthy Venetian, is angry because Desdemona, whom he loves, has secretly married Othello, a Moor and a general in the Venetian army. He argues with Iago, Othello’s ensign, who pretends to help him but secretly hates Othello. Iago resents Othello for promoting Cassio to lieutenant instead of him.
Together, Roderigo and Iago wake up Brabantio, Desdemona’s father, to tell him about her secret marriage. Brabantio is shocked and furious, accusing Othello of using witchcraft to win his daughter. They bring the matter before the Duke of Venice. The Duke listens carefully, but Othello defends his marriage by explaining that Desdemona fell in love with his stories of adventures and battles. Desdemona herself confirms her love for Othello. The Duke accepts the marriage, though Brabantio warns Othello that Desdemona may one day betray him. Soon after, Othello is sent to Cyprus to fight against the Turks, and Desdemona goes with him.
Act II
In Cyprus, the threat from the Turks is removed when their fleet is destroyed in a storm. The Venetians celebrate, and Othello and Desdemona are joyfully reunited. However, Iago begins his evil plan. He notices Cassio’s politeness toward Desdemona and decides to use it to make Othello jealous.
Iago gets Cassio drunk, knowing he cannot handle alcohol. Cassio becomes disorderly and gets into a fight with Montano, the former governor of Cyprus. Othello arrives, sees the disturbance, and strips Cassio of his rank as lieutenant. Cassio is deeply ashamed. Iago advises him to speak to Desdemona and ask her to plead with Othello to restore his position. Cassio agrees, not realizing that this will fuel Othello’s suspicions.
Act III
Cassio speaks with Desdemona, and she kindly promises to help him, insisting to Othello that Cassio deserves his place back. This innocent act gives Iago the chance to suggest that Desdemona is too eager on Cassio’s behalf. Othello begins to grow suspicious and insecure, remembering Brabantio’s warning that Desdemona may deceive him.
Iago deepens Othello’s doubts by claiming that he has seen Cassio with Desdemona’s handkerchief, a special gift Othello gave her. In reality, Emilia (Iago’s wife) had picked up the handkerchief after Desdemona accidentally dropped it and gave it to Iago. Iago plants it in Cassio’s room as “proof.”
Othello, overcome with jealousy and rage, vows to take revenge on both Desdemona and Cassio. He makes Iago his new lieutenant.
Act IV
Iago continues to poison Othello’s mind. He arranges for Othello to overhear a conversation between him and Cassio. Cassio speaks about Bianca, a woman who loves him, but Iago tricks Othello into believing Cassio is talking about Desdemona. At that moment, Bianca arrives angrily, holding the handkerchief that Cassio had given her to copy the embroidery. Othello sees the handkerchief in her hand and believes his wife gave it to Cassio as a love token.
Othello, now convinced of Desdemona’s betrayal, strikes her in public and plans her death. Despite Desdemona’s pleas of innocence, Othello refuses to believe her. Emilia senses something is wrong but does not yet realize her husband’s role in the plot.
Act V
Iago persuades Roderigo to attack Cassio at night, but the plan goes wrong. Roderigo is wounded, and Cassio is injured, but Iago kills Roderigo to keep him silent. Meanwhile, Othello goes to Desdemona’s bedchamber. Despite her prayers and protests, he smothers her. Emilia rushes in and discovers the murder. She reveals Iago’s treachery and explains how the handkerchief was stolen.
Furious at being exposed, Iago kills Emilia and flees but is captured. Othello, devastated by the truth, realizes he has murdered an innocent wife. Overcome with guilt and shame, he gives a final speech about his service and love for Desdemona, then stabs himself and dies beside her body.
At the end, Lodovico and Gratiano take control. Iago is arrested, but he refuses to explain his motives. Cassio is made governor of Cyprus, and the tragedy closes with a sense of justice, though all the main lives are destroyed.
Theme:-
Jealousy
Jealousy is the most powerful theme in Othello and is often called the “green-eyed monster.” Othello’s intense love for Desdemona turns into destructive suspicion when Iago plants seeds of doubt in his mind. Once jealousy takes hold, Othello becomes blind to reason, ignoring Desdemona’s innocence and trusting Iago’s lies instead. This consuming jealousy not only leads him to murder his wife but also to destroy himself. Shakespeare shows how jealousy can corrupt even the noblest of men and turn love into violence.
Appearance vs. Reality
The contrast between what seems to be and what actually is runs throughout the play. Iago presents himself as “honest Iago,” gaining the trust of everyone, while in reality, he is a master manipulator. Desdemona appears guilty of unfaithfulness because of false evidence—the handkerchief—but in truth, she is completely loyal. Othello believes in appearances and fails to see the reality of Desdemona’s purity and Iago’s treachery. This theme emphasizes how easily people can be deceived when they judge only by appearances.
Love and Betrayal
The play is both a celebration of love and a tragedy of betrayal. Othello and Desdemona’s marriage is based on deep affection and courage, as Desdemona chooses love over her father’s wishes and society’s prejudice. However, their love is destroyed by betrayal. Iago betrays Othello’s trust while pretending to be loyal, and Othello betrays Desdemona’s love by doubting her faithfulness. The theme shows how fragile love becomes when it is poisoned by lies and suspicion.
Race and Discrimination
Othello’s identity as a Moor is central to his character and to the prejudice he faces in Venetian society. Although he is respected as a soldier, he is still seen as an outsider, often insulted with racial slurs by characters like Iago and Brabantio. This discrimination feeds Othello’s own insecurity, making him believe that Desdemona might indeed prefer someone “of her own kind.” Shakespeare explores how race and difference can isolate individuals and make them vulnerable to manipulation.
Manipulation and Deception
The play demonstrates how dangerous manipulation can be when placed in the hands of a skilled deceiver like Iago. He manipulates Roderigo by exploiting his love for Desdemona, Cassio by using his weakness for drinking, and Othello by feeding his insecurity and jealousy. Even Emilia and Desdemona are unknowingly caught in his web of lies. Iago’s deception creates a chain of misunderstandings that leads to tragedy. This theme highlights the destructive power of lies and false appearances.
The Role of Women
Women in Othello reflect the limited position of women in Elizabethan society. Desdemona represents innocence, loyalty, and quiet strength, yet she suffers for her obedience and faith. Emilia, on the other hand, is more outspoken, criticizing men for their unfair treatment of women, but her honesty costs her life. Bianca, though marginalized as a courtesan, shows genuine feelings and becomes another victim of men’s judgments. Shakespeare uses these women to reveal how society’s expectations silence and control female voices.
Honor and Reputation
Reputation plays an important role in the lives of the characters. Othello values his honor as a soldier and believes Desdemona’s supposed betrayal has ruined it. Cassio, after losing his position due to drunkenness, laments that his reputation is everything. Iago cleverly manipulates these concerns, knowing that both Othello and Cassio will act rashly to protect their names. This theme shows how personal honor and public image can control decisions and lead to tragedy when combined with insecurity.

|
Shakespeare’s Othello is a timeless tragedy that explores the destructive power of jealousy, manipulation, and insecurity. At its core, the play shows how trust and love can be poisoned by deceit, leading even a noble hero like Othello to commit terrible acts. Through Iago’s cunning plots and Othello’s tragic flaws, Shakespeare highlights the dangers of misplaced faith and the vulnerability of human emotions. The downfall of Othello and Desdemona not only reveals the devastating consequences of jealousy but also reflects on issues of race, gender, and power. Ultimately, Othello remains a powerful reminder of how fragile love and honor can be when clouded by suspicion and betrayal, making it one of Shakespeare’s most compelling tragedies.
Essay
Comparison of Othello and Omkara
Comparison of Othello and Omkara
| Aspect | Othello (Play) | Omkara (Film) |
|---|---|---|
| Author/Director | William Shakespeare (1603–04) | Vishal Bhardwaj (2006) |
| Setting | Venice & Cyprus (Renaissance Europe) | Rural Uttar Pradesh (Indian heartland, caste politics) |
| Hero | Othello – Moorish general in Venetian army, respected yet racially outsider | Omkara Shukla – half-caste gang leader, feared and respected, but socially outsider due to caste |
| Heroine | Desdemona – noblewoman, loyal wife | Dolly Mishra – lawyer’s daughter, innocent and devoted |
| Villain | Iago – jealous ensign, manipulator | Langda Tyagi – jealous henchman, crippled (“langda”), master manipulator |
| Secondary Male | Cassio – young, loyal lieutenant, falsely accused | Kesu “Firangi” – educated, loyal, but accused of affair |
| Female Support | Emilia – Iago’s wife, Desdemona’s maid, exposes Iago | Indu – Langda’s wife, Dolly’s friend, exposes Langda |
| Love Token | Handkerchief – symbol of fidelity, planted as “proof” | Kamarbandh (waistband) – Dolly’s gift from Omkara, stolen & planted |
| Conflict | Jealousy + racial insecurity manipulated by Iago | Jealousy + caste insecurity manipulated by Langda |
| Language | Elizabethan poetic English, soliloquies, metaphors | Rustic Hindi/Awadhi dialect, earthy idioms, folk songs |
| Themes | Jealousy, betrayal, race, honor, manipulation, tragedy of love | Jealousy, betrayal, caste, patriarchy, politics, honor killings |
| Climax | Othello strangles Desdemona, kills himself after truth revealed | Omkara shoots Dolly, kills himself after learning truth |
| Ending | Iago arrested, but never punished on stage | Langda killed by Indu, restoring justice in Indian context |
Deeper Explanations
1. Outsider Complex
- In Othello, his identity as a Moor in a white European society fuels his insecurity.
- In Omkara, Omkara’s “half-caste” background (born to a Brahmin father and lower-caste mother) mirrors this outsider status.
2. Jealousy as Central Tragedy
- Iago exploits Othello’s insecurity about race + Desdemona’s loyalty.
- Langda exploits Omkara’s insecurity about caste + Dolly’s loyalty.
- Both fall to the “green-eyed monster.”
3. Women’s Position
- Desdemona is silenced and obedient, reflecting Renaissance patriarchy.
- Dolly is equally submissive and helpless within patriarchal rural India.
- Both are symbols of innocence destroyed by toxic masculinity.
4. Villainy
- Iago: Motivated by professional jealousy (Cassio’s promotion). Cold, calculating.
- Langda Tyagi: Motivated by caste humiliation + denied promotion. More earthy, abusive, emotionally raw.
5. Politics of Power
- In Othello, political backdrop = Venice vs. Turks war.
- In Omkara, backdrop = local elections, mafia politics, caste-based violence.
6. Cultural Translation
- Shakespeare’s racial anxieties → Bhardwaj’s caste dynamics.
- Military hierarchy → gang/political hierarchy.
- Renaissance honor → rural “izzat” (honor).
- Handkerchief → kamarbandh (traditional Indian ornament).
7. Ending
- Othello: Othello realizes too late, kills himself. Iago survives (punishment implied but not shown).
- Omkara: Omkara realizes too late, shoots himself. But here, Langda is killed by Indu, giving Indian audiences a sense of justice and closure (since in Bollywood/Indian storytelling, villains are rarely left unpunished).
✅ Overall Conclusion:
Bhardwaj’s Omkara is not just a copy but a cultural re-imagination of Othello. While Shakespeare’s play dealt with race and European politics, Omkara makes it resonate with Indian audiences through caste conflict, rural politics, and honor codes. The core tragedy remains universal: a great man destroyed by jealousy and manipulation.
