Othello: Tale Of Love And Suspicion Poem by Dr. Yogesh Sharma

Othello: Tale Of Love And Suspicion



Play of conflict, designed as the play of love,
‘But our new heraldry is hand, not hearts, "
"Who steals my purse steals trash, "
Love and suspicion make it a tragedy of life, private;
But end leads to deaths and disaster.

Army Chief of Venetian Republic, Othello;
Iago and Cassio, serve as officer military, in State of Venice;
Intrigues make Othello a might tragedy,
Fatal sense of misunderstanding makes Othello a tragic hero,
Unflinching love for Desdemona made Othello a jealous lover.

A fabulous example of disaster follows-jealousy or credulity or simplicity;
Too deeply, Othello loves Desdemona but dazed so easily too.
"Thus credulous fools are caught:
And many worthy and chaste dames even thus,
All guiltless must reproach."

Chance, unreason, Fate and accident are prime attributor,
Love passion of Desdemona is an accident,
Unsuspecting, Othello and Emilia, wife of Iago, surprise all;
Loss of Desdemona's handkerchief, a minor loss became a major;
Poetic justice, replaced by a belief in chance.
