The End of Othello

At the end of the play my feelings have definitely changed towards the characters from the beginning. I have always felt sorry and bad for Othello because right from the beginning of the play he was being accused of making Desdemona loving him instead of actually getting her to fall in love with him. He expresses his true feeling in court in front of everyone, but it still doesn't do him justice. My feelings for Iago have changed throughout the movie. At the beginning I didn't feel a certain way towards him. I just thought of him as another character in the play until the middle of the play came. Towards the middle of the play I started to really dislike Iago for the plan he was trying to create. By the end of the play when his plan is finally finished and complete I am very enraged. The reason that my feelings have changed so much is because he caused Othello to kill Desdemona, when really they were meant to be together. For Desdemona I have always felt sorry for. I have always felt sorry for her because throughout the whole play she is used as an object. For Iago she is his puppet that he uses to control Othello's feelings towards her. In my life I haven't had anything near what has happened in this play, but I have had similar situations where I have been tricked and fallen for it , but have never done anything drastic like killing someone.

Iago's Plan

In the end of Act 1 Iago creates a plan to win Desdemona. Iago is furious that Desdemona is not with him, but with Othello. The beginning of Iago's plan is to trick Rodrigo into being on his side. With Rodrigo being on his side he then can make sure that Desdemona and Othello will split up. Once he tricks Rodrigo to be on his side he then thinks of a devious plan to make Othello believe that Desdemona has been cheating on him with another man. That other man happens to be Cassio who is known to be a good looking gentlemen, which will make the suspicion seem more believable. Another reason that Iago believes this plan will work is because he is known around for being a trustworthy man so when he informs Othello of the cheating, he will then break up with her and give Rodrigo the opportunity to move on in. I don't believe that this plan will work because I feel like everyone will eventually realize what Iago is doing and then Othello and Desdemona will get back together. Right now I think that the plan will start to work and that Iago will be able to talk Othello into not wanting to be with Desdemona, but then they will find out and get back together.

Beowulf and Luke

Both Beowulf and Luke Skywalker have very similar and different traits. Both of these heros show they have what it takes to be a hero throughout their journeys. Beowulf enjoys showing off his skills more than Luke does. Luke doesn't like to have the spotlight on him, but rather being a hero for himself and the people he is saving. When Luke is first asked to help Obi-Wan in an adventure to stop the dark side he refuses because he feels accountable to help his uncle on his droid farm. When he finds out that the dark side has killed his aunt and uncle he becomes angry and wants revenge against them. Luke is doing this for himself and to help the princess, when Beowulf is usually trying to keep people save, but also doing it for the fame. Both characters are heroic because they both follow the heros path and also win at the end. For example both characters were born in unusual births and also had a spiritual guide. While Beowulf's spiritual guide is faith and fate, Luke's is both the force and Obi-Wan. Also at the end of Beowulf, he has defeated all of the monsters he is meant to face and in the end he gets the death or a hero. The death of a hero is when he dies during battle while trying to protect his people. By this happening Beowulf looks like a true hero. Luke does not die in the end, but he saves the princess and destroys the dark ship. This starts Luke's journey of being a hero.
