Othello’s Insight
Write a one paragraph response to the following question:
Often at the end of a play, Shakespeare’s tragic heroes often have a moment of insight. What is Othello’s insight? Look closely at Othello’s last speech before answering this question.
Othello realizes many things when he makes his last speech. His major realization is that he had everything he wanted threw it away by believing the wrong person. He hated himself for what he had done to the ones he loved. He also really regretted not trusting his wife who loved him more than anything, but instead trusting a “friend” who only wanted what would benefit himself only. Othello was full of remorse for what he had done to his wife and his friend, Cassio, but he wanted to still be recognized as a respected soldier and leader like he was before he had fallen under Iago’s tricks and deception.
