racism act 4

Othello says the term "goats and monkey" to Lodovico when he shows up on the island. If someone were to say this term to Othello it would be very racist and would personally offend Othello. He would most likely get very upset and probably want to hurt whoever said it to him but instead Othello is the one saying this to white people. so if you think about the question lingers, is it right for Othello to be able to say this to other people but not okay for someone to call Othello it? Well i think it isn't necessarily fair that Othello can say this line but it would be racist if a white person were saying to a black person. But what if a black person were saying it to a black person? then it wouldn't matter right? In todays society even if a white person were to call a black person a nigger you would probably get slapped in the face and the black person would be really offended but if a black person went up to his friend who was a black person and say hey nigger then it wouldn't matter at all. Thats what they call each other thats their race and to them calling each other that is nothing but a different race calling them that is a huge deal. So it doesn't all make sense but it also doesn't make sense why Othello would say this in the first place. He probably thinks he has more power and it means something when he says like don't mess with me because is basically the only black person around.

racism act 5

In this act there is more racism towards Othello throughout most of the scene two. Emilia it very mad at Othello when she find out that he killed his own wife for something that she didn’t even do. Emilia calls Othello a blacker devil and she refers to Desdemona as an angel. I think that Emilia is calling Othello one of the worst black people alive. A devil. She basically doesn’t even want to be looking at Othello and wishes she wasn’t in this position. It’s probably going through her head that if Desdemona's dad Brabantio wouldn’t of let his daughter Desdemona get married to Othello the Moor then Desdemona wouldn’t be dead and Emilia wouldn’t be in this situation where her own husband set up her best friend’s death. When Emilia sees that Othello draws his sword she says she’s not afraid of the sword Othello has drawn and shouts the Moor killed my mistress! She’s saying even though he is the Moor she isn’t afraid of him because she’s so mad at Othello. Emilia also calls Othello the dull Moor which she is actually calling Othello a stupid black person because she gave the handkerchief to Iago who gave it to Cassio, Desdemona didn’t give it to Cassio and this is why Emilia thinks Othello is stupid. I hope that no one is just jumping to the conclusion that Othello has to be blamed because he is black even though some people who are really racist might have said that. But Othello killed his own wife and he made the mistake himself because he believed stupid rumors that weren’t true.

Once again in this act Iago is not a fan of mine. He tells Othello that he is going to kill Cassio for him but instead has Roderigo kill Cassio. But it ends up going the other way, Roderigo gets killed by Cassio. So because Iago has told Othello that Cassio would be killed Othello is going to kill his wife Desdemona before he knows everything that really happened. Everything like Othello killing his wife wouldn’t have happened. If Emilia would have been one second sooner, who knows maybe Desdemona wouldn’t have been killed at all. It surprises me that as Desdemona is dying she has a last word of she killed herself when her husband killed her and she really doesn’t understand why he wouldn’t believe her about things or give her a chance to speak. The next few things happen so fast that it almost doesn’t make sense. Emilia starts to figure out that Iago started all of this. Soon after when Iago starts to threaten Emilia because she tries to tell everyone that Iago was the one who started all of this mess. Iago gets so upset he kills his wife. I could not believe that he did this I was completely shocked. I don’t know how someone could kill their wife unless in Iago’s case you don’t love your wife. Then after he runs away Othello ends up killing himself with a sword he has which just ends everything. But I think that he is so surprised at everything that has happened and hates himself for killing his wife who actually loved.
