The Relationship between Othello and Desdemona

In light of the above statement, Othello, is most certainly one of Shakespeare’s more famous tragedies. This is largely due to the nature of the character of the main protagonist, Othello. Othello, who for all intents and purposes, is essentially a brave and valiant soldier, who can be seen as predominantly good. He has a role of massive importance, in the army, being a General, however, he is clearly masked by some major flaws, evident in the jealousy, distrust and insecurity that he feels towards his wife, Desdemona. This sadly, is what led to his tragic demise. Had Othello been more accepting of Desdemona’s love and loyalty to him and had he not been too influenced by the falseness and malice of Iago, then he might have retained his position of eminence and salvaged everything.
