I am a fan of the play for it's ability to create that curiosity that happens in all of us when we find out that we don't know something. I've always thought that education was about knowing about, or being aware of, what you don't know, and Othello had these facets of his thoughts unlocked to him by Iago's toying around with him and it shows what little it takes to break someone. There's a lot more to it, but that is my favorite aspect. Michael Yes, in Othello’s final speech he speaks of her as “as pearl” that has been thrown away, and that is what she is.

I enjoy the magnificent language but not the play itself because I sam oppressed by the feeling that Desdemona is a throw-away character, a woman who has little value in herself but is used to constitute Othello's tragedy. What about her tragedy! You are right, and maybe that is the tragedy — no one is redeemed.

I have held the view that no one is, but there is a view of redemption which is seen by Othello, he even speaks of it, and in the end he takes the weak man's way out and kills himself rather than dealing with the fact that he murdered Desdemona; it's as much redemption as it is justified. Othello's view is the one which makes action, but in the end it truly is just a tragedy. I'm not even sure if this reply even says anything, but I hope so.

Who is redeemed here? Certainly not Desdemona, whose life is thrown away on a series of misunderstandings and suspicions. She acts rather foolishly, but she is young and inexperienced. From Othello, that great commander, we expect better and receive worse, all on the premise that he is entitled to serve a judge, jury and executioner for another human being.

This is shown too in the decline in written and verbal declarative statements. People write and speak like there should be a question mark at the end of everything, you know what I mean?
