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.
