William Shakespeare always reveals his characters in their language. Othello’s language is throughout, a direct representation of his true state of mind. Othello first appears before us as a bold, noble black Venetian officer and his language portrays him to be an upright gentleman. Making good opinions about his wife and himself, he appears confident, charming and not self-lacking of any temperament. “My services which I have done the signiory shall out-tongue his complaints…I love the gentle Desdemona, I would not my unhoused free condition put into circumscription and confine for the sea’s worth.” Othello speaks in prose here. His language suggests control unlike the other characters. He is very open and willing to tell us about his past. We see Othello to be noble in character and honest.

Honesty is the only path to take. Othello’s renowned speech in Act 1 S

Speaking in prose again, yet even more beautifully than before, Othello humbles himself denying none of his wrong actions, showing signs of slight gratitude because the truth pervaded finally.

Othello thinking that he can gain justice by killing Desdemona, murders an innocent woman “who has done nothing to deserve this.” Like all of Shakepeare’s tragedies, the truth surfaces too late and Othello, feeling remorse, and overwhelmed by guilt, suicides. “O cursed, cursed slave! Whip me, ye devils, from the possession of this heavenly sight!”

Othello’s language is arguably the most crucial element within the play having the capabilities to portray many notable aspects the playwright wanted to imply. The Moor’s language is not only significant in respect of himself, portraying fundamentally of his life, but likewise, it also suggests the inner and true beings of the other characters like “Sweet Desdemona”, and Iago the “Spartan dog”. Through Othello’s language, we also see the transforming beast that Othello becomes. This once noble and charming Venetian military officer becomes the prey, the victim of someone who has full hatred towards him. Not only does Othello’s dialogue portray his different intentions towards Desdemona that is from loving her to murdering her, but it also speaks of the true intents of Iago. Through Othello’s speeches, Desdemona, who remains genteel and innocent throughout the play, becomes increasingly pathetic in the eyes of the audience, as Iago and Othello become secluded in their own deceitful worlds. The growing disparity between good and evil are clearly demonstrated in Othello’s speeches and like all Shakespearian plays, the truth prevails. Othel
