Othello's Odyssey

Envy is the ulcer of the soul....

"A line of human corruption"
Personally, I think Shakespeare has created a very clever mood within "Othello" that challenges the way a person sees his or her self and the world. Subjects like racism, sexism, love, hate, jealousy, pride, and trickery are thoroughly developed in the play to enable the audience to view the characters and also themselves. Shakespeare began the masterpiece of Othello, a drama about a noble black general, Othello, who falls in love with and marries, Desdemona, a young white daughter of a senator.
From the above knowledge, my view is that Shakespeare wrote Othello to express that all people, of all ethnicity, are basically the same in human nature.
In the tragedy not only is Othello susceptible to weakness but so is every major character. The tragedy reminds humans that even one's good nature can be taken advantage of for the worst.
The drama Othello expresses, through relationships and emotional attitudes, a theme that all humans are vulnerable to destruction even if they are in positions of power and glory.....
MWAHAHAHAHAAAA......
"It is better to be
hated for who you are, then to be loved for something you're not"
Also, i would like to take this chance to talk about the new Hindi film "Omkara"; eventhough I myself haven't watched the film, I can tell you now, even without watching it that the play Othello will be mocked in such a way that the whole concept will be lost, the actual meaning of the play and the points that Shakespeare tried to express will be corrupted and misinterpreted. All the Indian film industry will do is over exaggerate the play and mix a couple of filmie love songs that have no meaning; the actual beauty and feeling that has gone into "Othello" will be destroyed.
Trust me - I've had many bad experiences in this area...
