Write a one paragraph response to the following question:
Often at the end of a play, Shakespeare’s tragic heroes often have a moment of insight. What is Othello’s insight? Look closely at Othello’s last speech before answering this question.
Othello make many mistakes during his married life and at the end he realizes this. He knows he made a mistake of distrusting Cassio and Desdemona. He regrets turning on them because she was his wife and Cassio was his best friend. He regrets destroying all that love that had been in his life, that is now gone. He reminds us to not take those we love for granted. One of the last things he mentions is how he wants to be remembered. He know he tarnished his reputation and just wants people to remember him how he was before all of these problems arose.
