Othello was a great story off jealousy, deception and honor. Othello does show a lot of honor when he admits that he was wrong in killing his wife Desdemona. Once he realized that he had been played by the people around him he was remorseful for what he had done. Iago was like the master mind behind the plot to frame Desdemona and I think he was just evil he is jealous of Othello and that lead him to do many things. Emilia and Cassio were not innocent by any means but I also think that they seemed to just follow behind Iago and not ask and questions about what they were doing. I also find it interesting how Othello's very own mother had told him that who ever he gave the handkerchief to would be his true love, but he still took the word of others instead of listening to his wife. That just goes to prove that mom always know best. Othello should have listened to his mother then all of those people would not have had to die. In the end Othello does know the truth about Desdemona and the guilt for what he has done is just too much for him to bare.

I really enjoyed reading your take on Othello and how Emilia and Cassio followed Iago without asking questions. You make a good point about that. Something that I think may be a good idea for you to do before you turn in your final blog would be to read through your posts and fix the typos. I hope that me saying that does not come across as rude, I just want you to make a good grade. Good luck!
