Othello

In Othello, I think it is highly interesting how Iago manipulates everyone in the play. It's like Iago is on the outside looking in and controlling very character in some way, yet the other characters don't even seem to notice that Iago is controlling them. It really drives me insane, at some points in the play I just want to grab some of the characters and shake them. I want them to wake up to the fact that Iago is manipulating them. Another thing I am interested in is how the situations in Othello are still present now days. Like how some people manipulate other people in their lifes and how rumors get started that cause people to want to take revenge. Like the rumor about Othello sleeping with Iago's wife, which causes him to come up with this elborate scheme to hurt Othello. This situation is highly common in society now days and many people are effected by it. Othello has multiple aspects within it that can be related to everyday life.
