Othello - Values And Attitudes

"If Othello did not start as a game about race, history has become sort of." The Venetian society where Othello is located is representative of the writer's career. The attitudes and values ​​that Shakespeare reveals through text are attitudes and values ​​of the Elizabethan society of England in the 16th century. Othello is in Venice and Cyprus, but attitudes and values ​​shared in the text may reflect Shakespeare's own attitudes and values ​​of society.

The attitude towards race is not the only attitude in the text. Attitudes and values ​​on gender are also reflected in women's depictions and women's actions in sentences. A typical example of this was when Desdemona fled with Othello without his father's permission, which was socially unacceptable during that time. Shake Spear used Brabant as a tool to express recognition of upper class objects, so this was revealed to us by Bravantio's reaction. Another value revealed in the article is marriage. In the Elizabeth era, marriage is not just a spiritual alliance but also a property transaction, and the bride brought a dowry from his father and the groom's father. We will set it as "cooperation" on the body.

In Othello of Shakespeare, marriage between Othello and Desdemona was destined from the beginning. They did not start well; their marriage broke controversy as their race and Othello did not follow the right etiquette when pursuing her. However, these problems can be overcome over time. The biggest problem is Odello's attitude toward Deathmena. Othello's Desdemona model prevented him from thinking about her alone. - ... Later, Iago 's handkerchief was placed in Cassio' s room, making his handkerchief and strengthening the lie with Tesmunda. When a prostitute whore Bianca who had affection for Cassio found a handkerchief, she accused him by looking at another woman. When she threw a handkerchief on the face of Cassio, Othello caught the scene and believed that his wife was truly cheating on him. This only makes Desdemona into an unnecessary conflict brought by Iago.
