Class Writtig Task on Othello - Tuesday 16th October

Othello says of himself he is “one not easily jealous but, being wrought, perplexed in the extreme.” I he correct or is he deluded?

Othello is deluded as his thought of himself is that he is “one not easily jealous...” when his jealous rage controls him to make aggressive accusations of his dear wife Desdemona of being unfaithful. Iago plants a web of lies in Othello’s mind that his wife is having an affair with Cassio, Othello’s jealously drives him to trust Irgo more than his wife. Iago plants ideas in Othello’s mind and when he confronts his wife he refuses to hear or believe her side of the story. The thought that his wife might be having a affair with is most trusted lieutenant made him wrought with anger and jealously. He quickly is able to accept that his wife is having an affair, even though Iago has little evidence or proof that this is the truth.Othello is deluded that his own words about himself and jealous to be false as it is his green-eyed temper that leads him to suffocate Desdemona.
