Application from Novel to Theme



-        -  Applies to the characters of Othello, Desdamona and Iago.
-         - We learn how the characters have a minimum of understanding of one’s self and  how characters thrive on self-knowledge.
-          -We see Othello not as great man but rather as a very flawed individual who happens to be an outstanding warrior.  Self-delusion is at the core of his character. 
-          -In the character of Iago we see him as being a irrational, obsessive, compulsive, reckless, and someone who thrives on danger and excitement.
-          -The character of Desdamona is an example of a character who thrives on self-awareness
-          -The novel shows the results of a male-dominated society where vanity, ego and appearance dominate rational and logical considerations and where women are treated as property and second-class citizens.
