According to Aristotle, a tragic shooter is a character of awful status and greatness. He is a existence who is non entirely sober or entirely evil, rather, he is a man who on the entirely is good, but also contributes to his own destruction by some clean weaknesses, known as the bleak mistake. Aristotle further explains that the protagonist must be dominated by a hamartia or tragic blur which leads to his downfall. All tragedies have a hero with a deformity, and in the wanton away Othello, the hero becomes transformed by his tragic defacements of green-eyed monster and gullibility. Othello is the general in the army of Venice and is in love with Desdemona.He is a Moor of African descent, who has risen through the ranks of the Venetian army through hard lap up and success in battle. Othello is a cultural and racial outsider, often draw as a black ram or moor, and his family relationship with Desdemona was not accepted by the society at the time, thus resulting in the ir actions to elope and get married. Othello is an admirable figure and scorn of the colour of his skin, was es pour by many battalion in the society. In the play, Othellos exchange flaw is jealousy, bringing slightly death and misunderstanding for many of the characters.His flaw of jealousy was exploited by Iago and manipulated through many incidental events. Othello is a very trusting and noble character and is regarded as Shakespeares closely romantic character. Othellos boundless love for Desdemona makes it unbearable for him to think of other man looking at her. Othellos fatal flaw of jealousy is shown, as due to his suspicious and jealous nature, he banks everything Iago tells him about Cassio and Desdemona. Iago uses Othellos great love through extreme manipulation to get Othello more than and more jealous, this can be seen when Othello is slowly starting to believe Iago, deuced her, lewd minxO, damn her Come, go with me apart I pass on withdraw, To furnish me with some swift means of death For the fair devil. straightway art thou my lieutenant. Othello later accuses Desdemona of lying to him, O, devil, devil If that the Earth could teem with womans tears, Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile. Out of my dope this proves as a surprise for Desdemona as although she is being faithful to her husband, he does not believe a word she is saying due to his flaw of jealousy.Othellos flaw of jealousy takes him through a series of predicaments, take by Iago, where he makes the decisions to believe Iagos accusations on Desdemona and Cassio. It is then his jealousy that causes him to suspect Desdemona, and piece together irrelevant study that gives him the wrong information about his wifes infidelity. Iago cleverly brings up Othellos flaw in Act 3 Scene 3, warning him to beware of jealousy, as he deceives him about Cassio and Desdemonas affair, bit attempting to play with his mind, O beware, my lord, or jealousy It is the green-eyed monster w hich doth mock The meat it feeds on. At the number one of the play, when Shakespeare introduces Othello as a high-status, noble man, who is in love with his wife Desdemona, the villain is immediately brought out, uncovering the protagonists fatal flaw of naivety. Iago takes Othellos flaw to his advantage, deceiving him into believe that his wife and his lieutenant are having an affair. To Iagos luck, Othello regards Iago as an honest man who he trusts very much, showing dramatic irony in the lines, Iago is intimately honest and A man he is of honesty and trust.Shakespeares use of dramatic irony creates a connection between the characters in the play and the audience. Othellos naive and trusting nature allows him to believe anything and everything Iago tells him, despite of his lack of physical evidence, which proved to be a deadly mistake. Othellos gullibility also results in the change in his marriage. As Othello starts to believe Iagos lies, the relationship between Othello and Desdemona changed from respectful and caring to bitter and condescending.Othello short loses all respect for Desdemona and even refers to her as a whore, for having an affair with Cassio while she is married. Othellos flaws of gullibility and jealousy combined resulted in his downfall. Another fatal flaw Othello possessed was trusting people comfortably. Othello trusted Iago very easily soon after they met. Although Iago cannot be blamed for Othellos flaws, he was soothe responsible for planting the seeds in Othellos mind. Othello also made a mistake of allowing Iago to mess with his mind, planting many accusations of his Desdemona and Cassio. Othello love Desdemona, and she always love him.But because of his jealousy and gullibility his speech is juxtaposed and his love killed. subsequently Othello murdered Desdemona for betraying his love, he realises his false accusations of Desdemona and Cassio and finally realises the true villain to be Iago and kills himself. In Othellos last speech in the play, he speaks of the betrayal, compunction and of his lost love. Othello can be seen as a tragic hero, as his flaws are the cause of his death. His fatal flaws of gullibility, jealousy and easily trusting people can be seen as the cause of his death and others around him.He recognises his flaws in the end however it is too late to bring seat his wife, whom he had earlier killed. Iago takes Othellos flaws to his advantage, playing with Othellos mind, planting lies and accusations about Desdemona and Cassio. Iago can be seen as the villain as he does not care about the lives of anyone else he has ruined, instead only caring to secure his own ends, by doing whatever necessary. Aristotles definition of a tragic hero can be compared with the life of Othello, thus making him a rightfully tragic hero.
