In the play Othello by William Shakespeare, we see a black man marrying a rich young white woman named Desdemona. The black man named Othello serves the Italian government, as a general, this man is a very loyal and trusting person. Othello is easily persuaded, as Iago, his elder, says, who writes this passage about him: "The Moor is of a free and open nature, who thinks that men are honest, but seem to be so, and will let himself be just as tenderly lead by the nose. As are asses. (Acts 1, 3,405.) “It shows us the kind of man that Othello is a trustworthy man and thinks that everyone tells the truth. This opens Othello to believing the lies Iago tells him. However, Othello is not a stupid man, he is a general after all, and proof must be shown when people make arguments, especially against his own wife, deceiving him. Now the question is why didn't Othello seek his own proof of the acquisition challenged against his wife's deception. Surely he's not stupid, considering he's in such a high position. In this essay I will explain why, Othello does not look for more evidence of his wife's adventures and simply believes Iago. Now, when Othello and Desdemona gain hesitant approval of their marriage from Desdemona's father by blessing their marriage, Desdemona's Father says, "She deceived her father, and that thou (Acts 1, 3, 294).

Aside from Cassio's confession of what Othello believes to be an affair, Othello really doesn't need any more proof of the interaction. However, if Othello needed further proof, he believes that Iago is honest, as this passage states "My life on his faith!" Honest Iago, shall I leave you my Desdemona: I pray you, let your wife take care of her: and bring them afterward in the best advantage. Come, Desdemona: I have only one hour Of love, of things and direction of the world, 300 To spend with you: time must be obeyed. ( act 1.3.195-301) This proves that Othello trusts Iago much more than he should. In conclusion, Othello put too much trust in his friend and dishonest friend, which cost Othello his life. Furthermore, Iago seemed to have anticipated Othello, planting seeds of jealousy in Othello's mind. Furthermore,
