character analysis:
I think othello is an interesting character because at the beginning he seems like the most moral, heroic, strong, faithful guy. but then as the story goes on he's completely corrupted by really stupid stuff. it could be sort of a metaphor for how people aren't necesarily who we think they are. and the people who seem like they have everything together maybe don't. and then you have a character like emilia who the whole novel seems so submissive and weak and like a total pushover and then right at the end all the sudden she comes off totally strong when it really counts. she stands up for herself, she tells off iago and she tells everyone the truth. she's crucial to the plot and really kind of saves the day, in a sense. she rises to the occassion and ends up being really heartfelt and strong. i think that's interesting how those two characters contrast and what that suggests about human nature in general.
