Othello

This play is a tragedy. From the beginning, the audience knows that something tragic is likely to happen because of Iago's determination to get revenge. Iago proves himself to be stoic through the action of the play and eventually, he is the character who causes all of the tragic events to occur. Tragedy is the only type of drama that is really used in this story as there is little romance and it is short lasting. The only romance that is in the play is between Othello and Desdemona, but this is short lasting. When he becomes jealous, he is no longer romantic with Desdemona. It is important that the audience realize this is a tragedy because they need to recognize the evil ways and manipulative ways of Iago. The tragic form of the play is completed at the end when the majority of the characters die, including Othello, Iago, Desdemona, and Emilia.
