ESSAY ON: William Shakespeare's "Othello": Reality In Comedy

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. In the comedies, appearances and reality are manipulated for comic effect; in "Othello," the audience is presented with the tragic implications of being in a world where appearances are at odds with reality. One can readily surmise that this aspect is particularly apparent, inasmuch as Iago is a villain who only appears to be 'honest,' while Othello is a trusting sort who believes that men are intrinsically honest even if they seem not to be so. The writer discusses how this reciprocation of actual characteristics lends to the audience's enjoyment as social and political hypocrisy is presented in a most outwardly entertaining manner. No additional sources cited.
