Iago is a man wronged by the Moor <br />of Venice - 'Good Michael Cassio, <br />look you to the guard tonight.' <br /> <br />Michael Cassio has been promoted <br />over a professional soldier; a man <br />who has risen from the lowest ranks <br />and is within reach of the top <br />when he is passed over. <br /> <br />Desdemona wrongs her father <br />when she runs off in the night <br />to wed a stranger, however <br />distinguished he may be - <br />inconceivable for a lady <br />of a great family. <br /> <br />Iago is the honest creature <br />who sees and knows more <br />than he reveals to Othello - <br />the trap springs shut <br />and Othello does his duty <br />as an honor bound soldier <br />must no matter the outcome. <br /> <br />We leave the playhouse <br />awestruck by the drama <br />of jealousy in love.<br /><br />Michael Pruchnicki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/enter-othello-desdemona-others/
