OthelloDo the racial differences between Othello and Desdemona foreshadow the deaths to come in the play?Amra BecirovicEnglish 201Professor: Caroline Kelley December 18, 2013Outline – Research PaperThesis: Othello's Insecurity as black man in a position of power in a predominantly white society leads to his downfall. I. Introduction: what is racism?a. Racism has been an ongoing problem for centuries. Everyone struggles to be accepted for who and what they are. Racism is not only aimed at love, but also at other problems, such as finding work or being accepted by others. Racism is believing that you are better than another human being because of the color of their skin. B. In this play, Iago believes that the beautiful Desdemona should not lower her standards and be with a black man because she is white.c. In Othello, the theme of racism is seen through Brabantio's disapproval of Desdemona and Othello's marriage, the characters' racist comments, and Othello's isolation from others.II. Is love worth the hate and negativity of others around you? I believe that love is worth every battle you face, no matter what the consequences. B. What is the point of living if you are not given the freedom to live your life the way you choose to? If you respect society's perspective on who you should be with, then what's the point of having your own mind? III. How manipulation wins.a. If Othello had not been blinded by Iago's conniving ways, he might still have been alive and happy with Desdemona. Because Iago was racist, he plotted Othello's downfall.b. Othello put his trust in Iago because he believed that Iago was his right hand man. Unfortunately, Othello has lost that trust by placing it in the hands of an unworthy man. IV. Conclusion. As racism continues in societies around the world, readers see that William Shakespeare's tragedy is still a relevant work
