Othello Mock review

Othello is an honourable man and because of this he is admired and given a significant amount of status. The senate sent 'three several quests' to find Othello and its said that he has been 'hotly called for' by the Duke this emphasises Othello's importance to the Venetians. This adds to the tragedy of the play as he ultimately kills Desdemona because he believes its honourable to save other men from getting hurt by her, he almost sees it as if he is fulfilling his duty and taking back his military status by killing her both to protect honour  and the honour of future men. He sees killing Desdemona as another service to the state. But killing Desdemona marks his downfall and the loss of his honour.
