Othello “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”, as Victor Frankl explained, that it is our environment that makes us what we are. And if we don't like who we have become, we must change ourselves to change the environment we find ourselves in. In Shakespeare's Othello, the order and disorder of the setting parallels the order and disorder of Iago's character. The story begins in Venice where the character of Iago parallels the “orderly [and] legal” setting of the city where society is peaceful. Iago's charter reflects the current situation, since Iago has not yet caused any problems. He acts orderly, like when he didn't get the promotion, Iago simply said "there is no cure" (). Which develops his character as a peaceful person, because he simply accepted Othello's decision and did not oppose it. Thus reflecting the setting, because just like the setting, Iago acts in an orderly and peaceful manner. Not only did Iago not retaliate when he did not receive the promotion, but he also wondered "whether, under any term, I am inclined to love [the] Moor" (1.1.40 ). By questioning himself, Iago shows that Iago is courteous, because he does not attack Othello, or hate Othello right away for not promoting him. Instead, he makes a decision by thinking logically about weather or not he loves Othello. So like the orderly setting of Venice, Iago's character is the same because by thickening through the options you have before making a decision, it represents order since the decision will have a reason behind it. Additionally, Iago not only thought through his decisions while in the peaceful city of Venice, but he also ensured the safety of Ro...... middle of paper ...... after a total violence when "[he] stabs Rodrigo." (5.1.61). Thus, Iago's character reflects the setting, since anger leads to violence because anger and violence are directly related to each other. 'other. Also because it is our anger that pushes us to become too passionate, which leads us not to behave in order, pushing us to commit acts of violence, in short a chaotic and tense news. the parallel with the character of Iago Since Iago stirs up conflict between people, he murders Rodrigo, which reflects an environment that is both chaotic and tense Overall, in the story of Othello, as the setting passed. from orderly to unpleasant to chaotic, Iago's character reflected the setting each time As his character also changed throughout the story, going from being orderly in Venice to eventually becoming violent in Cyprus. Thus, the character of Iago is parallel to the setting.
