We grieve that the innocent have suffered but we are satisfied that evil has been defeated

In the figure out Othello by William Shakespeare it could be said that in the end, despite the killing of Desdemona, Othello and genus Emilia that, we grieve that the innocent have suffered but we are satisfied that savage has been defeated, but to what extent is this actu every(prenominal)y true?There is no doubt that Othello is full of the harm of innocence. None more so than the measly of Desdemona who dope be described in no other federal agency than pure and virtuous. At no point in the play can it be said that she shows anything other than these qualities and there real can be no justification for the fate that befalls her. She is indeed correction, which is stated by Cassio, is the perfect description of this woman and yet she arguably suffers most inside the text. not exactly is her integrity movemented, the man she loves and has given her soul to, denounces her as a whore and a strumpet and in the end murders her.There is no doubt each that Othello suffers within the play. He is driven to kill Desdemona, the woman he loves, referable to the notion that she has lied, cheated and is ultimately a lustful adulteress.His innocence however, could be questioned. The only proof that Desdemona has done the things she had been accused of is that which is in Othellos mood. He never unfeignedly has any real proof, just suggestions. It is in position his jealousy and imagination that makes him believe that Desdemona is an adulteress. Without his jealous tendencies, the seed of suspicion could never have been planted. As well as the circumstances it is a personal failing within Othello himself that leads to the murder of his wife and so therefore he is not wholly innocent in his suffering, or that of Desdemona. condescension Othellos already jealous record playing an important role in the events, it cannot be denied that Iago is the character who initiates, and finished exploiting Othellos jealous nature and the naivety of Desdemona, brings about t he suffering of all. The blame, to a bang-up extent, lies with Iago. His character is nasty, crude and disrespectful. This is shown in the scene where he encourages Roderigo to inform Brabantio (Desdemonas father) of her where abouts. He says, an old black ram, is tupping your white ewe, which is an altogether crude and animalistic focussing to describe the act of love making between two pack who are clearly in love.He again uses a common description of the pair when he says, your daughter covered with a Barbary horse. Despite talking about Othello in this derogatory way he pretends to be his friend passim the play. He clearly states that I follow him to inspection and repair my turn upon him and I must show out a ease up and sign of love, which is indeed but a sign, which shows his vindictive and scheming nature. Although he pretends to be a friend to Othello, he is actually only doing it in order to let him suggest that his wife isnt the women he thought she was. With this in mind, the most truthful words that Iago says are, I am not what I am.Iago never actually does anything, he doesnt kill or hurt anyone physically and yet he undoubtedly lies behind the suffering within the play. This makes what hes doing all the more sinister. His annoyance nature is unquestionable and so when he is raise out at the end of the play it could be said that evil has been defeated. However, Iagos true colours being shown and him being punished hasnt stopped him doing what he set out to. He has after all still do Othello suffer significantly and in turn got his revenge.In conclusion I feel that although it is true that innocence has suffered a great deal throughout the play, the fact that Othello played a role in his own suffering cannot be over looked. Nor can the question of to what extent he really was innocent in the whole scenario. In addition to this there is the question of, has evil (Iago) really been defeated? I dont believe that it has, as in my opinion, ev il has done what it set out to do and has in fact won.
