The Moor and the fair lady- An analysis of Othello, Shakespeare’s play through the lens of marginalisation

Vol-8,Issue-2,March - April 2023

Author: Alen Tharakan

Keywords: Othello, black Moor, King of Venice.

Abstract: William Shakespeare’s play Othello features the life of Othello, a black Moor, a Muslim, who although is the most trusted man of the King of Venice, struggles to fit in with the prominent White, Christian medieval framework of Venice. He indirectly subscribes to the prevailing morality and thinks himself inferior to the rich, white European Christians. He tries to be like them, imbibing their values and their codes, but still struggles with his different color and has an inferiority complex. This ultimately leads to his downfall and it results in him killing his beloved wife, Desdemona and it ultimately led to his suicide.
