How does Othello plan to kill Desdemona? Why does the "justice" of this method please Othello?

Sagot :

Answer:

Othelo plans to kill Desdemona by making her ingest poison, but Iago convinces him to kill her suffocated with the pillow and Othelo likes this idea, because he thinks it is a matter of justice that Desdemona dies in the bed where she committed adultery.

Explanation:

This question is about "Othello, the Moor of Venice", a play written by Shakespeare that shows Othelo's rise in the city where he lives. From the moment that Othelo, a dark-skinned man, becomes honored and admired in the city, Iago is filled with envy and devises a plan to make Othelo ashamed and lose everything he has achieved. The plan is to make Othelo believe that his wife, Desdemona, is cheating on him with his friend. Othelo believes in this story and, with the help of Iago's ideas, wishes to kill Desdemona, suffocated with her pillow, in the bed where she supposedly committed the adultery.
