Othello 8

     .....what. I literally cannot express how much I detest stories where everyone just dies in the end. Literally everyone who was somewhat important died. Leave it to Shakespeare to write a play where boring stuff sort of happens, then there's some action and the reader becomes mildly entertained, and then everyone dies just as you get into the action. WHAT. Alright but seriously, the last act of Othello truly characterizes Iago as the greatest villain of all time. However, karma gets him and everyone finds out it was his fault.


"O thou Othello, thou was once so good,
Fall'n in the practice of a cursèd slave" (V.ii.350)

     These lines address the fact that Othello used to be such a good man and leader, until he fell into the tricks of Iago, "the devil." Iago truly engenders all of the struggles in this play. Without him, the town was literally peachy-keen. Absolutely nothing was wrong. But, we all know a person that just isn't ok with everything being perfect, just like Iago. If it isn't obvious enough, I thought the ending of this play was pretty annoying.
