Elements of Tragic Hero
Theme of Jealousy
She says enough, yet she’s a simple bawd
That cannot say as much. This is a subtle whore,
A closet, lock and key, of villainous secrets.
And yet she’ll kneel and pray, I have seen her do ’t.
(4.2.19-22)
Othello questions Emilia about Desdemona's conduct. He sends for his wife and accuses her of cheating with Michael Cassio. Because of Othello's behaviour, Desdemona is very upset. Emilia tries to comfort her, then goes to get her own husband, Iago. Iago tries to comfort Desdemona, then leaves to continue to manipulate Roderigo into attacking Cassio later that night.
The fountain from which my current runs
Or else dries up - to be disgraded thence!
Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads
To knot and gender in! (4.2.58-61)
Elements of Tragedy
Historical/Social Issues
A Scene may reveal a character or it may show a development of a character
Biblical Allusion
Luck, Chance and/or Fate
It is my wretched fortune. (4.2.127)
O thou public commoner (4.2.72)
Othello starts getting angry with Emilia, and it shows how the character ( Othello ) develops in a negative way.
" Yes, You have seen Cassio and she together " (Line 3)
I durst, my lord, to wager she is honest,
Lay down my soul at stake. (4.2.11-12)
"What is your pleasure, madam? How is ’t with you?" (line 109)
Let Heaven requite it with the serpent's curse
For if she be not honest, chaste, and true
There's no man happy (4.2.15-17)
We start to feel bad for Desdemona, because she no longer feels the same about Othello
Verbal Irony
Othello is saying that he believes that Emilia, is covering for Desdemona, and othello calls Desdemona a whore, and says she has a ton of secrets.
Dramatic Irony
Beshrew him for't!
How comes this trick upon him?(4.2.127-128)
I will be hang'd if some eternal villian,
Some busy and insinuating rogue,
Some cogging, cozening slave, to get some office,
Have not devis'd this slander; I'll be hang'd else.
(4.2.129-132)
Iago once again manipulates Roderigo by lying and making him stay in Cyprus and help kill Cassio. (there is nothing in it for Roderigo)
