Thus, the most ignored character of the tragedy gets snuffed out without a second thought.
Othello enters the play as our hero and protagonist. He is "the thick-lips" being referred to by Iago and Roderigo at the beginning of the tale. Though several other racial epithets exist, his African descent is only used against him by Iago, Roderigo, and Brabantio when they are trying to incriminate his marriage with Desdemona. He is otherwise looked upon in the finest light, as a defender of the Venetian way of life and also as an integral part of it. His seemingly perfect marriage to Desdemona is sabotaged by Iago with terrifyingly rapid efficiency, with little need for solid evidence. This misplacement of trust is perhaps his greatest tragic flaw, aside from his fear of social confrontation. On more than one occasion, we see his effectiveness in resolving violent outbreaks, but he tends to shy away from taking part in more civilized occurrences. This can be seen through his "observation" of Cassio's admittance of adultery from a distance, when in fact he and Iago are talking about the prostitute Bianca. Through that misunderstanding and from the constant defense that Desdemona possesses for Cassio, Othello easily falls into Iago's trap and becomes overcome with jealously. His explanation for his wife's questionable fidelity is seen in his soliloquy in Act 3 Scene 3.
Haply for I am black,.
And have not those soft parts of conversation.
That chamberers have; or for I am declined.
Into the vale of years-yet that's not much-.
She's gone. I am abused, and my relief.
Must be to loathe her. O curse of marriage,.
That we can call these delicate creatures ours.
And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad.
And live upon the vapor of a dungeon.
Than keep a corner in the thing I love.
For others" uses. Yet "tis the plaque of great ones;.
Prerogatived are they less than the base.
"Tis destiny unshunnable, like death.
