Othello Post 8.

Othello the Moor of Venice by William Shakespeare.

Act V. Scene ii.

Ah, much like the Shakespearean tragedy we all know and love, not many people come out of the story alive. Cassio and Roderigo are presumed dead, Bianca is out of the picture, and in this scene I would not be surprised if Othello and Desdemona both bit the bullet. 

"Thou hast not half that power to do me harm as I have to be Hurt. O gull! O dolt! As ignorant as dirt! Thous hast done a deed II care not for thy sword, I'll make thee known, through I lost twenty lives" (V. ii. 161-164)

Here we witness Desdemona die just before Emilia comes in to accuse her husband Iago of lying to Othello. Othello, believing Iago to be honest, disbelieves Emilia and threatens to kill her too. EVERYBODY gets threatened to be killed in this story apparently. 

Then enters Iago, and gets questioned. His answers are clever and free him of any real guilt. Iago defends himself with the argument that he gave nothing more than his speculation and thought and left it up to Othello to decide what was true. 

Emilia reveals Iago's whole plot to everybody and it appears that things will not go well for Iago until Iago stabs Emilia and leaves. Cassio is apparently hanging in there at the end and in a ironic twist, Iago is taken prisoner. 

For Iago, everything seemed to be going according to plan, until Emilia unraveled it all. It turns that Iago did not even make it out of his plan. 

Final Death Toll

Desdemona

Emilia

Roderigo

Cassio, mortally wounded.

Brabantio, it was mentioned in there.

Finally, justice is served to Iago, a sick and twisted villain.
