Answer: The protagonist character Othello was a man of both weakness and greatness that might be described in his own words "an honourable murderer". He was a Moor of Africa and by his excellence in warfare, he got the post of general of Venice. He was brave, intelligent and respectful to his army. At any situation he was dutiful towards his nation. On the other hand, he proved himself as a true and valiant lover and secretly married Brabantio’s daughter Desdemona. Othello did not fail to admire Desdemona’s qualities, beauty and also told her about his past life that was full of danger and adventure. He was very straightforward as in front of the Senator, he did not hesitate to confess his marriage with Desdemona and with his skillfully worded defense, Othello acquired consent from Brabantio.
Othello easily believed everyone and for that Iago easily could drive him to jealousy and think that Desdemona had extramarital affairs with Cassio. He could not smell the conspiracy of Iago and he had a habit to take impulsive decision. Ultimately that cost him huge penalty that Othello had to pay with both his and his wife’s life.
Very good
