When blindly or excessively devoting oneself to an individual, one becomes vulnerable to self degradation. One’s idealistic worldviews in turn corrupt oneself, and when the expectations are not upheld, the relationship is destined for tragedy. As such one must strike a balance in the spectrum of love between the emotional and the physical. Shakespeare’s examination of love in Othello (1603) is what continues to appeal to audiences across history. In the Elizabethan period, men who wore the mask of the courtly lover were criticized by Shakespeare, feminizing those by depicting them irrational, a trait attributed to women, leading to the tragedy, as Shakespeare says love needs to be balanced. This is demonstrated in Othello, in which the titular character’s hamartia, downfall and ultimate tragedy is a result of his blinding love. The exploration of love, blinding and idolatrous that sees people act irrationally is what endures, leading audiences of even today to reflect on their own relationships. Idolatry love leads to both jealousy and irrationality. This is shown in Shakespeare’s Othello as seen in the downfall of Othello, whose blinding love asks us to re-examine his role as the courtly lover. “Perdition catch my soul / but I do love thee and when I love thee not / chaos is come again” In here, Othello states that he will keep loving her, even if he gets damned to hell for it, and that his life would fall into chaos if he didnt. This is to say he worships her as some kind of god, and also cleverly foreshadows the tragic events that will happen if Othello falls out of love with Desdemona. In “But that I love the gentle Desdemona” Shakespeare subtly demonstrates Othello’s loss of masculinity through use of the word ‘gentle’. Another clever use of foreshadowing by Shakespeare, as Desdemona does end up becoming Othello’s weakness. Through dramatic use of soliloquy, we can see changes to Othello’s thoughts and views, made clear to us through his internal monologue, while unbeknownst to the other characters of the play, which makes for a big source of dramatic irony. Othello’s use of language is another technique Shakespeare utilizes to convey his downfall, we can see how by the end, ‘gentle’ changes to ‘lewd minx’, showing a drastic change in Othellos’ views. Audiences throughout time can learn from the mistakes of characters like Othello, whose downfall is a result of blinding love. Shakespeares work remains relevant as the play demonstrates the devastating effects of blind idolatrous love, as R.N Hallstead states “Idolatrous love is not an uncommon phenomenon, and everyone has met it both in life and literature.

Love how Iago cleverly uses the chess pieces to outline his scheme to destroy Othello, Desdemona, and Cassio: Othello: Black king Desdemona: White queen Cassio: White knight He sets the pieces to make it clear he’ll use Cassio to break Othello and Desdemona apart (notwithstanding the fact that Cassio is on good terms with both at this point in the play). Since the knight also represents Cassio’s promotion to lieutenant, it further fuels Iago’s anger and jealousy over remaining just an ensign in Othello’s army (and hence a pawn).

Thus do I ever make my fool my purse: For I mine own gain'd knowledge should profane, If I would time expend with such a snipe But for my sport and profit. I hate the Moor: And it is thought abroad, that 'twixt my sheets He has done my office: I know not if't be true; But I, for mere suspicion in that kind, Will do as if for surety. He holds me well; The better shall my purpose work on him. Cassio's a proper man: let me see now: To get his place and to plume up my will In double knavery-How, how? Let's see:- After some time, to abuse Othello's ear That he is too familiar with his wife. He hath a person and a smooth dispose To be suspected, framed to make women false. The Moor is of a free and open nature, That thinks men honest that but seem to be so, And will as tenderly be led by the nose As asses are. I have't. It is engender'd. Hell and night Must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light.

The Knight is used to represent Iago. In the game of chess the knight is the only piece that can "jump" over the other pieces, and that implies that Iago believes that he is greater than everyone else as he has a unique ability. The fact that the knight is put in the middle also implies that he is a linking power - in other words Iago is Othello's source of informations and as such Othello would only listen to what Iago has to say and create an opinion based on that - implying that Iago is the frontier between Cassio's truth and Othello's assumptions imposed by Iago himself.

I thought it meant cassio as he put him between Othello and Desdemona, as if to imply his plan of telling Othello cassios been sleeping with his wife. Also, the swipe off the table would imply iago's getting rid of cassio as well, which he mentions doing in the monologue
