Evil and Good in Othello     Life in general is often used as a system of ways to define what kind of person you are by its end. Shakespeare takes that theory into test upon his characters in his work of the famous play Othello. by means of the verbal twists and turns along with the addition of color symbolisms, the personalities of Othello, Iago, Desdemona are revealed to their fullest extents, along with their bear balance of good and evil within. When this is realized by this famous Shakespearian work, the judgment of good and evil is carried out, and as a result of push-down list purging of emotions, neither prevails in the resolution.   Othello, due to his Moorish nature scarcely at the same time morally gabardine and untainted, can be considered grey with the opening of the play, entirely possesses the potential to become either the most brilliant white or the obscureest threatening. From the way that he is described by Iago and sometimes Braban tio, he is a dark beast lurking in the shadows, but he is as white as he can be by the Duke. Grey is a color not quite white nor black, hesitation and confusion wavering behind his eyes. This confusion is caused by his naiveté at trusting people too easily, and Iago eagerly takes this weakness to his advantage. So that when Iago manipulates Othello, Othello unwittingly gives in to the temptation, even going as far as presentment Iago I am bound to thee for ever (III. iii. 242). Othello at this point is in all taken in with Iagos mind poisoning and willingly submits to him, yielding to his trickeries. inescapably with a little push from Iago, Othello slowly goes down the path of dark and pure blackness, with murder evident in mind. With Iagos tampering of his inner moralities, Othello turns black like a speeding snowball, once Iago set him on the skilful path. Everything else Othello had done the damage himself Iago only suggested the notion in the most probl ematic of ways. Thus he sometimes breaks out to savage madness as Iago put it, when being put under such pressure (IV. i. 65). He is so far gone that he even has epileptic fits auditory sense of Desdemonas infidelity.
