Othello: A Man of Great Power and Weakness. This paper is on Othello from Shakespeare. Othello will forever go down in the books as one of Shakespeare's most remarkable characters. Not only did he enjoy great success on the battlefield, but also he gained much respect in Venice as a most powerful general. "The Moor's military proficiency placed him in a class by himself in the same way his ethnicity distinguished him from his Venetian counterparts." (Harbage, 1964) He was a Black Moor but celebrated for the simplest things about him. In the end, it is those simple qualities; the romantic and aspect about himself, that eventually bring him to his end. In the play, he's a warrior; he's the epitome of a professional soldier. He risks his lifetime again in the war against the Turks. For Othello, the war is not simply a job or a task; it's a way of life. But Othello is also a common man, despite his great expertise as a soldier. Othello won great respect and admiration for many noble reasons, but it was mostly for his amiable personality and kindness that seemed endless. Othello achieves great satisfaction in his life, in part because of the power and respect he receives from others. His public image is one of great dignity and nobility; everyone seems to admire him. The Venetian senate unanimously approved of him. Pages: 8 Bibliography: 4 source(s) listed Filename: 74 Othello Power Weakness.doc Price: 71.60
