n all of Shakespeare’s plays, because of Desdemona’s manifest innocence, beauty, and purity. She proclaims to continue are love for Othello to the grave and beyond, returning to life only to gasp out exoneration for her husband. He rejects are last gift, but his illumination arrives quickly thereafter, and the audience’s anger at the Moor dissipates as he is completely undone by the realization of his terrible error. There is no need to punish him, his horrible self-awareness (“O Desdemona! Desdemona! Dead!”) Is punishment enough. Then Othello passes judgment on himself with the courage we would expect from a military hero and loyal general, and he kills himself just as he once killed the enemies of Venice. Shakespeare allows him a final word; too, Othello reaches for Desdemona, reminding the audience of what a great love has been destroyed.Shakespeare’s tragedies will certainly stick in many people’s minds and hearts for years to come because of the power and reality of Shakespeare’s characters. Through these characters we are able to feel emotions inside ourselves that we may have never felt before. Shakespeare’s tragedies give us an ability to connect with an insane person, the ability to know how important insight is, and to know to also trust your own feelings and not just the people’s around you.References:(1995)Hamlet [Audiotape] New York: Harper-Collins Othello [Audiotape] New York: Harper-Collins King Lear [Audiotape] New York: Harper-Collins Encarta 2000.
