Othello
Lane Siggelkow
Has there ever been a greater author in history than Shakespeare to master the art of tragedy? In Othello, Shakespeare excites the senses and creates a feeling of terror and heartfelt emotions, through a very colorful cast of characters. Othello creates a wonderful say and balance of human emotions, have a go at it, anger, jealousy, devotion, insecurity, and eventide a touch of sympathy, from the author, the characters, and even felt from the reader.

Arise portentous vengeance from the hollow hell. (Shakespeare Othello (2011) Act III, page 18).
Once Iago has shown Othello the hankey in Cassios hand, he is hell bent towards revenge.
Othellos mind is heavily burdened with Desdemonas betrayal, and decides she must meet her life this very night. Have you prayd to-night, Desdemona? Ay, my lord. Othello: If you bethink yourself any crime unreconciled as yet to paradise and grace, solicit for it straight. Desdemona: my lord, what do you mean by that? Othello: I would not kill thee unprepared spirit; no; heaven forfend! I would not kill thy soul. (Shakespeare Othello (2011) Act V page 8.)
Amazingly, Desdemona accepts her death, at the hands of her own husband, but does not place the break up on him, even as she takes her last breath. Emilia: O, who hath through this deed?
