Othello keeps on believing Iago in Act four and its starting to annoy me. It annoys me how Iago’s entire plan works every time and how good he is at persuading Othello into thinking that his wife, Desdemona is cheating on him. Othello completely falls for everything that Iago says when Iago convinces him to hide while he talks to Cassio about Bianca but Othello thinks Cassio is talking about Desdemona. I don’t get why Othello doesn’t just go ask Desdemona himself it would make everything so much easier. Othello wouldn’t have to worry about anything. Othello and Desdeoma could have this wonderful relationship and a great life ahead of them if Iago didn’t get involved. Everyone basically loves Othello except Brabantio because Othello ran away with his daughter to get married. Othello has a great job and is very well trusted. With Iago out of this play things would be completely different. I wish Iago would just focus on his relationship with his own wife, Emilia rather than screw up other peoples because it’s not fair! It surprising though how Emilia stays with Iago when I know she knows what he is capable of doing. Desdemona is starting to get really offended by Othello calling her a whore she can’t even say the word. I wish that Desdemona knew that Othello thought she cheated on him with Cassio because then she could just say something to him and Othello would know that Desdemona has been faithful and always will be.

racism act 3

Othello talks about his own race in this act about how Desdemona's reputation is as white as the snow but now it is as dirty as his black face. i think he says this because he use to think of Desdemona as this sweet, nice, and pure girl but now that Iago is convinces him that Desdemona slept with Cassio Othello thinks of Desdemona as a black dirty person. Just like some people want nothing to do with black people at all. then Othello says he is going to think of a way to kill his beautiful devil wife is what he calls her. Many people refer to Othello as the devil for marrying Desdemona and now he calls Desdemona a devil for sleeping with Cassio. Just like he thinks he is a devil for marrying her. Othello is upset for everything that is going on I think it is going through he head that maybe Desdemona cheated on him because he is black and Cassio isn't. If only Iago wouldn't have lied to Othello and said things that weren't true then nothing would be going on right now. Othello wouldn't think about himself as a black person or a devil because he knows he will be a devil by he end of all this because he wants to kill his own wife for cheating. I wish Othello would just go ask his own wife what happen and if it was true and trust her with what she would say.

I still hate Iago more and more and more because he is still going behind everyones back and trying to get Desdemona to be with him. At least that's what I believe. It surprising how Iago's wife gets in on helping Iago. Emilia is not really sure what Iago is going to do with the handkerchief but I think she feels like she has to do something that will help Iago to get him to still love her or be with her. Iago keeps coming up with these plans and these lies that actually are working. I do not get how he comes up with everything but its quite clever. Iago makes Othello so mad that he wants to literally kill his wife Desdemona. Othello is not even sure if Desdemona cheated so i do not understand why he does not just ask her or why he does not follow her and see if Desdemona is really cheating. If Othello did find out that Desdemona is not having an affair then the whole story would be different. Othello even wants to kill Cassio I would not blame him but i have never heard of the guy killing his wife only the person that was cheating with his wife. I hope that the story turns around and no one dies but I think everyone knows that everyone is going to die because Othello is so jealous. Cassio also has everything set for him whenever he needs action because Bianca basically wants him.

racism Act 2

Othello actually is responsible for some racism in Act two. He asks his men if they are turned Turks meaning Turkish people who are different then the way they are. Not white not black, but in between and a lot of people don’t like the Turks because they cause trouble. Othello has said yet if he is offended by all the racism but he certainly gives it right back in his own ways. Maybe he doesn’t even mean to do it, which half the time most people don’t. But in this time period and in this play everyone has racism and everyone clearly states their opinion. Iago is still working on his plan to get back at Othello for sleeping with his wife and I think getting back at him also has to do with racism and him being good at what he does. He says at one point something about the lusty moor. Iago is using Desdemona to help get what he wants and he gets pretty close with her at one point. What I think he is really saying is that he too loves Desdemona not out of lust but out of revenge to get back at the moor for sleeping with his wife or so he thinks Othello slept with his wife. Iago also runs into two men from Cyprus who wants to drink to the health of black Othello. They are being racist here because they are drinking to him because he is black and because he is in bed with white women.

I still don’t like Iago at all. I think he lies and he manipulates everyone in this play. It’s pretty clever how he gets Cassio fired though. I will admit that it isn't nice but it is also sweet how it works out. I feel bad for Cassio that he trusts Iago and Iago is just stabbing him in the back by trying to get him fired and get Desdemona and Othello to break up. It’s nice that Othello gives the men a feast when they get to the island and all the Turks are dead because of the storm. I'm wondering if Desdemona and Othello’s relationship is going to work because of everything that is going on. If Othello doesn’t trust Desdemona then things could get ugly. But Desdemona made it pretty clear towards the end of the act that she was all for Othello and wouldn’t cheat on him. If Iago's plan did happen to work then Othello would also get mad at Desdemona and possibly cause a fight between Othello and Desdemona. It's hard to tell if Cassio actually likes Desdemona or if he is just being friendly by holding her hand and talking to her while she waits for Othello to arrive. It would certainly be interesting if Desdemona and Cassio started to have a thing. But if anyone in this story were to get with Desdemona I think it would be Iago because he would manipulate everyone to not like her anymore and he would take her from all of them.
