15、ary gifts once he threatensto Venetians reputation status such respect can be thwarted. No matter someone whoown high status such as Brabantio or have low-status such as Roderigo and Iago areboth hold racial prejudice to

16、 Othello. Firstly let us focus our attention on Brabantio Othello’s father-in-law he wasalso a pure racist. Brabantio is the senator of Venice from his inconsistent attitudetoward Othello we can see that how serious of h

17、is racial discrimination psychology inhis mind. Before he knew Othello and his daughter fell in love he treated Othello ashis honorable guest just as Othello said：Her father loved me oft invited meStill questioned me the

18、 story of my lifeFrom year to year the battles sieges fortunesThat I have passed. Othello p37From this we can see that before Brabantio knew Othello fall in love with his daughterhe regarded him as the best friend while

19、he knew it in his eyes Othello became aguilty moor. If we think carefully we can get a conclusion that people who likeOthello with so prominent fame and social status how he doesn’t deserve hisdaughter Desdemona If we ca

20、n ignore the racial discrimination against the blackpeople the marriage in our eyes is perfect enough. Just because Othello is an Africanmoors Brabantio opposed to the marriage so strongly. To Brabantio the marriagebetwe

21、en his daughter and moors can be seen as a great shame of his family as well ashimself. Secondly let us shift our eyes on Iago and Roderigo. in Iagos eyes Othello is aquotold black ramquot “ Barbary horse”，and embodiment

22、 of devil. Due to Iagosdiscrimination coupled with his failure to be promoted by Othello and plus otherminor reasons arousing his extreme hatred toward Othello which promote him to seta plot to revenge on him. Firstly he

23、 successfully took advantage of Cassios kindnessto make Othello remove his post of Lieutenant then he suggested Cassio to seek favorfrom Desdemona during this period he grasped the opportunity of Desdemonasenthusiasm of

24、helping Cassio to successfully instigate Othellos suspicion. Later hecreated a handkerchief incident which deepened the suspicion of Othello finally hesuccessfully arranged the meeting of Cassio and Desdemona which made

25、Othellofurther believe his suspicion on Desdemona. Iagos scheme make Othello goes crazy.This is Iagos whole process of implementation of his conspiracy. From this we cansee Iagos motive of treacherous behavior juggle plo

26、t ruthless revenge and tramplingall moral norms with impunity is completely out of his racial discrimination. What hehas dong also shows his intolerable hostility to the progressive ideal and faith ofhuman. Roderigo atti

27、tude toward Othello can be regarded as the representatives ofsecular commons in 17th century. He once said: I say again hath made a gross revolt Tying her duty beauty wit and fortunes In an extravagant and wheeling stran

28、ger Of here and everywhere. Straight satisfy yourself. Othello p14 There is no other better evidence to prove the secular racial discrimination thanthis sentence. Obviously in the eyes of Roderigo Othello is a “wheeling

29、stranger” inshort he believes that Othello the Moor does not deserve the love of Desdemona. Overall we can see that the social discrimination is the root of the tragedy ofOthello. There are three reasons can prove that.

30、First of all Shakespeares descriptionsor hints on different social classes racial discrimination in his drama making us havea clear knowledge of the whole social background of that time. Racial discriminationjust like a

31、vicious tumor is widespread in all social classes it is the biggest obstaclefor Othello and Desdemona to pursuit their love on the road. Second Iago thedesigner of the plot and the manipulator of the tragedy hates Othell
