Catharsis

I feel sorry for Othello because he had so much potential and he was a really good guy at the beginning. He was so in love with Desdemona, and if Iago had never said anything to him they would have been happy together. I don’t believe that they would have fallen out of love just as quickly as they did. However, I think he acted very immaturely and didn’t handle the situation well. He asked Desdemona about it and didn’t believe her when she told him the truth. I don’t think that a handkerchief suffices as proof. But I don’t think he deserved what Iago did to him. I’m kind of glad he killed himself in the end though because I don’t see how he could live knowing that he killed his wife for no reason and was tricked by some slimy liar. Of course I am very upset at Iago and I am very happy that he got caught in the end and was forever silenced. I feel worst for Desdemona because she was very virtuous and would never hurt anybody, and was killed in the end for no reason. If I were Desdemona I would have done more than her to defend herself, especially when he told her he was going to kill her. She seemed like too much of a martyr and should have tried harder. I am kind of indifferent about Cassio. I felt bad what happened to him when he really had nothing to do with the situation, but he got off the luckiest. I honestly can’t think of anything in my life that is similar to what happened here besides just random rumors that have gone around. Instead of believing a rumor as soon as you hear it, you should talk to the person, especially if it is about cheating or lying. But I can’t think of anything in my life that has happened like this.
