My boy othello

Many tragedies contain instigators that help maintain what the reader or veiwer is understanding. To me, the instigator tells the over all story line in their soliloquy by breifly telling about themselves. The character's words with themself and others reflects where the play is headed or what is happening in the present. All the characters in Othello create a map of a tragedy with the words and actions that are presented by each one of them.

Iago, Emilia and Desdemona are a triangle all together which is screwy within itself. Emilia is always there for Desdemona but ALSO for her husband, Iago. Iago is trying to screw Desdemona'a husband without Desdemona knowing Iago's plan. The dramatic irony in that situation is that Emilia is helping her husband the whole time and doesn't even know Desdemona is right in the middle of it. Emilia only wants to make her husband happy yet she's hurting her best friend the whole time. That is a tragedy in its own between Desdemona and Emilia.

Iago, Roderigo, Cassio, and Othello are another story. Iago's jealousy channels into Cassio and that action leads to him and Roderigo fighting it out.

Iago is like a virus that keeps spreading on everyone that creates mini tragedies through out the play. He effected relatioships such as Emilia and Desdemona, and Cassio and Othello.All the small conflicts between the characters lead to the ending-coming from ignorance to knowing.( For all characters except Iago. He found out he wasn't so slick after all).

Iago created the giant tree getting struck by lightening. With out him, all the characters in the play would just be small chunks of grass.
