: I need help with the different kind of love the novel
: "Othello". My question is Exmaine the various attitudes towards
: love in the play. Look carefully at the viewpoints of the male and female
: characters. What is shakespeare trying to say about love?
What, exactly, is the problem? You could compare Desdamona with Iago's wife. Or you could look at Othello's explaination of why Desdamona fell in love with him. You could look at how his love for Desdamona makes him respond to Iago's allegations. Or Iago's wife's explaination of how women love differently than men. What Shakespeare says about love depends on what aspect you focus on. Clarify, if you want.
