That chamberers have Othello is not proud to be black and he wants to be white because he thinks that his servants are not showing him respect because of his skin colour Hubris Excessive Pride Othello's hubris is evident in his belief in his own judgment and his overconfidence in his ability to control his fate He believes himself to be a rational and honourable man He believes himself incapable of being deceived This pride blinds him to the manipulations of Iago It causes him to dismiss Desdemona's innocence without proper evidence His hubris is displayed when he proclaims I know Iago Thy honesty and love doth mince this matter The quote reveals Othello s blind spot On the other hand Iago sets the stage for how Othello s belief in Iago s honesty will lead to disaster Peripeteia Reversal of Fate The turning point in Othello's fortunes occurs when he wrongly believes Desdemona to be unfaithful and wills to kill her This marks the moment of peripeteia as Othello's life takes a tragic turn from honour and love to betrayal and despair His once-happy marriage is shattered and he becomes consumed by anger and revenge Anagnorisis Moment of Realization Othello's moment of realization comes too late after he has already murdered Desdemona He finally understands the impact of his foolishness and recognizes Iago's manipulation His poignant line captures this realisation This look of thine will hurl my soul from heaven And fiends will snatch at it Here Othello acknowledges the uncorrectable damage to his reputation and his soul He acknowledges his decline into barbarism Catharsis Purification or Purgation of Emotions Othello's downfall arouses feelings of pity and fear in the audience It leads to a cathartic experience As they witness Othello's tragic unravelling the audience is compelled to reflect on the destructive power of jealousy and the consequences of unchecked emotions Othello's tragic end serves as a warning It encourages the audience to examine their own flaws and vulnerabilities Nemesis Punishment or Retribution Othello's nemesis is the inevitable consequence of his actions In his last words Othello speaks to his murdered wife Because he kissed her before he smothered her He kisses her once more before he takes his own life Othello is speaking poetically about his relationship with Desdemona His love and eventual jealousy killed Desdemona If he had never loved her she never would have died So Othello kisses her again and kills himself as his personal repentance In the end Othello recognizes the justice of his punishment declaring I kissed thee ere I killed thee no way but this Killing myself to die upon a kiss His death is both a fulfillment of fate and a form of atonement for his sins In conclusion Othello's character embodies the tragic archetype characterized by a fatal flaw hubris a reversal of fortune a moment of realization catharsis for the audience and the eventual punishment for his actions Through Othello's tragic journey Shakespeare explores timeless themes of jealousy betrayal and the fragility of human nature Othello leaves a lasting impact on audiences across generations
