The only opponent left for him to conquer becomes himself.The World's Largest Public Domain Media Search Engine While establishing the difference between one who was included and exclude in Venetian society, he makes his final act of martyrdom. In summation, Othello’s final remark has allowed him to personally reflect his actions and to reveal to the audience his remorseful feelings. He acknowledges that he will forever be an outsider. While in the act of killing himself, he alludes to the metaphor of the killing of a Turk.
He feel that he has been struck to death in comparison to Christian who struck a Turk.Ĭonsidering the severity of the punishment, it is evident that this is not small matter, but rather a serious one with racial discrimination. Othello make this reference because he feels that he has been an outcast of Venetian society despite his title. He mentions “Aleppo” which is translated as a significant staging post for trade between Europe and the East where it was said that the punishment there should a Christian strike a Turk was immediate death. This indicates that his ego is still intact and has not been completely shattered as he works the persistence reveal his innermost feelings of being an outsider. Despite Othello’s pains and cries, he briefly manages to calm himself thus regaining his dignity that gave rise to his higher state of power in Venice. This trait was emphasized previously in the play where Desdemona wished for the heavens to forgive Othello and send him to Purgatory rather than hell so that he may repent for his sins. There is irony involved because he killed Desdemona who had the qualities of a Saint who was always willing to forgive Othello for his actions. Similar to the betrayel of Jesus, he has betrayed Desdemona’s pure qualities and love. ” This quotation suggests that he has angered the heavens and makes a religious reference to the betrayal of sacrifice of Jesus. ” However, the burden of his sins become overwhelming referring to a “base Judean, threw a pearl away. It is evident that no medicine in the world can cure him of his agony and torture referring to the medicinal properties of the “Arabian Trees. He cherishes his memories of when he spoke of such places to Desdemona further emphasizing his love for her.
Othello mentions the “Arabian trees Their medicinal gum” and “Aleppo” which were elements in his heroic tale. Othello comments on his how he won the affection of Desdemona enchanting her through his heroic tales. However, the audience knows that this is no longer the situation as the “honest” Iago made Othello into a pawn of a greater game. ” Othello is referring to his previous assessment of Desdemona’s relation with Cassio where he told Iago that he had nothing to fear and thus would not become jealous. In the next contradictory statement, Othello states that he was “not easily jealous, but, being wrought. It was Othello’s love for Desdemona, however, that acted as a catalyst to which Iago manipulated and used to his advantage.
Othello’s love for Desdemona reveals a sensitive part of Othello in spite of his military background. Othello reveals in the next line that he has actually “loved not wisely, however too well” showing that he was not able to communicate the very same amount of affection back to Desdemona as she had done to him. ” Nor does he want be considered wicked which he would feel ashamed for as Iago is the genuine villain in the play.
