  1. 1The Causes of Othello's Tragic Downfall.
    [blank_start]Ania Loomba[blank_end] argues [blank_start]persuasively[blank_end] that Iago's machinations work because Othello is '[blank_start]predisposed to believe[blank_end] in the [blank_start]'duplicity of women'[blank_end]'. Which can be supported by Othello's reference to Desdemona as '[blank_start]that cunning whore of Venice[blank_end]' as Othello becomes an '[blank_start]agent of misogynist[blank_end]' beliefs as Shakespeare uses the [blank_start]third person[blank_end] to reflect Othello's attempt to distance himself from Desdemona.

    Vs

    Othello's willingness to believe in Iago's allegations of infidelity can be seen as arising from his insecurities surrounding his racial inferiority and what [blank_start]Loomba[blank_end] calls his belief in the '[blank_start]necessary fragility[blank_end]' of [blank_start]his relationship[blank_end] with a '[blank_start]young, white, well-born women[blank_end]' can be seen in his use '[blank_start]haply for i am black and have not[blank_end] those [blank_start]softer parts of conversation that[blank_end] chamberers have'
    Supported by [blank_start]Emma Smith[blank_end] who said his '[blank_start]own apparent equation of black skin[blank_end] and [blank_start]immorality registers his[blank_end] internalisation [blank_start]of racist norms in Venetian culture[blank_end].

  2. 2Othello's Final Speech: His identity and morality

    [blank_start]FR Leavis[blank_end] argues [blank_start]persuasively[blank_end] that Othello '[blank_start]has discovered his mistake[blank_end] but [blank_start]there is no tragic self-discovery[blank_end]', Othello's dying claim that he is '[blank_start]not one easily jealous[blank_end]' can be seen to [blank_start]support[blank_end] Leavis' view, suggesting that he lacks a genuine moment of what [blank_start]Aristotle[blank_end] calls [blank_start]anagnorisis[blank_end].

    [blank_start]Loomba's[blank_end] argument that Othello can be seen as a '[blank_start]near schizophrenic hero[blank_end]' is arguably [blank_start]more persuasive[blank_end] than [blank_start]Eliot's[blank_end] view that he is '[blank_start]cheering himself up[blank_end]' and '[blank_start]endeavouringto escape reality[blank_end]' or [blank_start]Leavis[blank_end]' view that he '[blank_start]remains the same Othello[blank_end]' which implies that he has a [blank_start]stable sense of identity[blank_end]. [blank_start]Eliot[blank_end] argues [blank_start]more persuasively[blank_end] that he is more concerned with the '[blank_start]aesthetics[blank_end]' of his posthumous reputation than with '[blank_start]morality[blank_end]' and he is more concerned with '[blank_start]himself[blank_end]' than '[blank_start]with Desdemona[blank_end]'.
