Othello 4

Day 3

The battle rages on in my head as I am so torn as to actually beginning to like, and be intrigued, with this Othello by Shakespeare that I am presented with. It seems that more than the literary techniques applied through this piece, I am drawn in by the constant eb and flow of the attitudes expressed and words exchanged. Those qualities that build the drama almost to a climactic element within many conversations are the very reason that I can continue to read in. They bring on a curiosity that makes me wonder what the true motives are behind the characters going through their personal troubles at this current time. I cannot quite tell why Desdemona would be so obsessed so easily with the concept of getting Cassio back in the good graces and ranks of Orhello. Is Cassio really that charming? What's in it for her? I'm not sure if I understand that reasoning entirely. More than her motives, I see all of the actions building up portrayed from Othello's point if view and I cannot help but agree with him. I'd be outraged at the notion of my wife being so slutty without my knowledge too! I think I caught on to some foreshadowing hen Emilia said, "No conception nor no jealous toy."(I.iiii.150) implying that she was hoping that Othello wasn't suspicious of Desdemona. An then, suddenly he is suspicious of her. How odd.
