Jealousy and Manipulation in Othello

Jealousy and Manipulation in Othello He, who loves his wife for the lust, can run away(p) from the situation that haunts him. But, he who loves his wife like he loves his god, loves to the death. Othello loved his wife so much, that if some whiz like Iago would plant seeds of lies and misjudgments into Othello, him and any other would go to the extreme as to kill her just to stop the pain. Jealousy itself it self is like a predator searching for the weak. Othello quotes, O beware, my lord, of jealousy It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock.The meat it feeds on. William Shakespeare, Othello. Iago, the predator, purposely imbedding jealous images into Othellos head. Othello had no choice but to accept how close his wifes relationship with Cassio really was. In his mind his closest friend is using their friendship to manipulate him into thinking they are friends just to get impendent to Desdemona. Get me some poison, Iago this night Ill not expostulate with her, lest her bod y and beauty unprovid my mind again. Iagos manipulation is so great that Othello would kill the one he loved so much.Ruthless Iago knew that the only way to make the situation much worse was to convince Othello to murder his beloved with his bare hands. This away he could not get away with this action and he thought this would bring Othello to his own grave. So, Iago said Do it not with poison, strangle her in the bed, charge the bed she hath contaminated. Now, I ago had Othellos head wrapped around 2 things that this world has always had paradoxs with Jealousy & Manipulation. But , the true situation that ran this on the whole operation was greed. This monster controlled many kings, families and any person who could not control themselves.Iagos greed was to become a higher ranked person than Cassio. With this he used his manipulation on Othello and Cassio unsuspectingly in the dungeon. Foolishly tricking Cassio into talking about his girlfriend, but making it seem to Othello he was talking about Desdemona. Iago could not get rid of Cassio himself. This tension was created because of Iagos jealousy of Cassio and his rank. Getting rid of Cassio would boost his rank and get one step closer to Othello. Thinking Cassio has copulate with his wife Othello cries out he wants Cassio dead. Othello neat blind because of hatred and jealousy led him into becoming a caotic monster. Othellos past and current position as a soldier helped him solve how to take care of a problem and to him killing a person got rid of the problems that occurred just like in the wars before. The problem here is not war, it is his extreme love for his wife and his blindness for honesty is what led him into killing. Not knowing the truth can prevent honesty. But, to be manipulated and becoming jealous only fuels the fire. Othellos heart for love became a wildfire. In the end greed won the battle, but the truth from Cassio and Iagos wife great deal the pathway to destruction and ending the battles.
