The theme of loveIn Othello by William Shakespeare, the theme of love is very important. The main themes conveyed are: Love can be used against you/love can be manipulated, and love is blinding (unconditional love). The theme of love can be used against you is best illustrated in Othello and Desdemona, Cassio and Bianca, Roderigo and Desdemona, and Iago, Roderigo and Brabantio. The theme of love is blinding is best illustrated in Desdemona and Othello, Emilia and Iago, and Brabantio and Desdemona. Love can be used against you/Love can be manipulated. Iago uses Othello's love for Desdemona against him. Iago implies to Othello that she deceived her father so that she could deceive him. “She deceived her father by marrying you, and when she seemed to tremble and fear your appearance, she loved them the most.” (III, iii, 204-206) Like human nature, Othello goes through events that now have answers: “She is gone: I am ill-treated, and my relief must be to hate her. O curse of marriage, that is what we may call these delicate creatures. I would rather be a toad and live on the fumes of a dungeon than keep a corner of what I love for the use of others. (III,iii, 264 - 270) Othello gets angry: "Wild one, be sure to prove that my love is a whore; Be sure: give me ocular proof." (III, iii, 356- 357) Othello hears Iago's love. predictions: “All my affectionate love thus I breathe to the sky: “He is gone. Arise black vengeance, from hollow hell! » (III, iii, 442 - 443) Othello believing Iago: “Damn you, obscene bitch! Oh damn, damn! Come with me separately. (III, iii, 472 - 473) She then tells him that she is a virgin. "No, as I am a Christian. To preserve this vessel for my lord from any further unlawful and repugnant contact, do not be a whore, I am none." (IV, ii, 82 - 84) Desdemona then turns to Iago. "O good Iago, what must I do to win back my lord? Good friend, go to him; for, by this light from heaven, I do not know how I lost him." (IV, ii, 148 - 150) Othello feels guilty because he discovered that she was innocent. "Gentle you; a word or two before leaving. I have rendered some services to the State and they know it: Nothing more of all that. I beg you in your lettersWhen you recount these unfortunate actions Speak of me as I am: nothing extenuating, Nor writing anything malicious So you must talk about someone who did not love wisely, b...... middle of paper.. ....of the Moor./ My rebellious husband has courted me a hundred times to steal it... I will have the work removed, / And I will give to Iago / What he will do with it, God knows, not me: / I do nothing, but to please to his fantasy."(III, iii, 287 - 296) Emilia's love blinds him from Iago's true nature. She ignores his vulgarity towards women. She also doesn't care how he treats her. "A good girl! Give her to me." (III, iii, 311) “You get up to play and you go to bed to work. » (II, I, 114) Brabantio is blinded by love for his daughter. He believes that she is an innocent child and will never marry “the Moor”/Othello of her own free will. He is so angered by the images Iago has given him that he wants Othello killed. “Cursed as you are, you have enchanted her./ For I will refer to all things of sense,/ If she were not chained by bound magic.../ So opposed to marriage that she fled/ them rich curly darlings of our nation, / Would they have finished... / Fleeing from his guard to the smoky bosom... From such a thing... so as not to fear rejoicing? (I, ii, 63 - 71) “Seize him: if he resists, subdue him, at his own risk.” (I, ii, 80 - 81)
