Othello overall opinion

Overall, I thought Shakespeare's Othello was a well written story. Shakespeare's writing is while difficult to read entertaining and creative. Shakespeare is able to describe his character's eloquently through his syntax and diction. One thing I liked was to see how Shakespeare developed multidimensional and dynamic characters.  Iago comes to mind first as multidimensional with seemingly multiple personalities he is able to manipulate every one he comes into contact with. He seems to have a separate face for every person he lies to. Othello is an obvious choice for the dynamic character with his transformation from calm gentleman to furious murderer. However, I would choose Emilia as the best dynamic character. She goes from following all of Iago's orders to being the one that unravels his master plan. She says "Villainy hath made mocks with love" to Othello, revealing Iago's true nature. She brings about the plot shift by showing what has actually been happening. Shakespeare tells a great story by developing his characters and their actions, and bringing the reader's emotions into the story.
