Example Of Jealousy In Othello

I have aimed to show jealousy, as one of the most corrupting and destructive attributes that characters can have. It is jealousy and subsequently revenge that encourages Iago to scheme for Othello's downfall. By juxtaposing Othello’s naive, almost innocent nature and Iago's spiteful villainy, the image of jealousy is truly personified as an all-consuming "green-eyed monster". The use of this metaphor can be seen in the dialogue between Iago and Othello when Iago says to Othello, “O, beware, my lord of jealousy; tis the green-ey’d monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds on.”

Desdemona and Cassio are the only major characters that are portrayed to be the innocents of the film, as they do not experience jealousy, although they are deeply affected

A number of characters are killed because of jealousy consequently making it one of the most destructive feeling. This particularly shows how jealousy influences the character’s actions and how it can lead to downfall for many characters.

That was a masterful scene with the chess pieces, where in one shot you were able to show the dynamics of the story. How have you used props to show the role Iago plays in portraying the idea of jealousy?

This can be seen in the scene where he sees his wife's handkerchief in the hands of Cassio's mistress Bianca. Othello is completely submerged by his jealousy, as it is, for him, the visual proof of his wife’s infidelity.
