Great Works I: Remixing Memory

Scene 2 act 3
In the passage I analyzed Othello was telling the Duke and Brabantio that he had not used any type of trickery, magic, or spells to make Desdemona fall in love with him. They had spent plenty of time together and with all that time spent there were many stories told to her which slowly helped develop love for him. This passage shows a lot about Othellos character and shows the type of person he is. A lot of things put Othello down as a character, as a “moor” Othello is put down due to his former religion (islam), his race, and last but not least skin color. Othello is then converted to Christianity and and becomes a respected soldier located in Venice. One man who respects Othello greatly immediately blames Othello for drugging/tricking Desdemona to marry him. Othello has great respect for Brabantio and real true love for Desdemona. Their love for each other truly came from spending quality time with each other and was not influenced by drugs and or trickery.
