Praise or Blame with Othello in Othello by Shakespeare
Have they accomplished what we might call a good?
Have they failed miserably?
Is there nobility in their failure that should be praised, or perhaps foolishness that should be condemned?
What are the values of the play itself, and how does the character navigate these?
What about this character is worthy, or what is not?
As you make your argument, provide evidence with specific passages from the text. Remember not only to praise your chosen character, but also to address why the character could be alternatively blamed in your confutation.
