Othello

Shakespeare's character,Othello, in his play Othello the Moor of Venice goes through an incredibly large transformation thought the course of this play. His cool, calm, and collected demeanor at the beginning shatters by the end. Othello's tragic flaw becomes his jealousy. One could even argue that his excessive love towards Desdemona's was his hubris. Because he loved her so much, he became insanely outraged to the point of seizures when he found that she had been cheating in him. This jealousy rose within him to the point where he couldn't allow that calm Othello back inside him ever again. The calm Othello would have asked Desdemona's from the beginning what was happening and would have believed her when she denied it. Iago's manipulation of Othello exemplifies the holding effects passion and love have on people. Othello couldn't believe that the woman he had fallen so madly in love with had betrayed him. This love is what.  Ironically, forces him to kill his lovely wife. "I will not kill thy unprepared spirit. No, heaven forfend. I would not kill thy soul" (Shakespeare, 1450,V.ii.31-32). He still cares enough about Desdemona's that eh doesn't want to harm her soul.
