Othello’s Insight
At the end of the play, Othello had a moment of revelation when everything he did came into focus. Othello realized that he had been deceived into killing the woman that he loved. He didn’t want to be remembered as the man who killed his loving wife, but as a soldier who honorable served Venice. He threw away the one thing that was most valuable to him, Desdemona. He didn’t understand how well she loved and how pure she truly was until he lost her. Othello was taken over by his emotions and didn't think the situation through. Othello killed himself after this speech because he couldn’t live with the damage he had done. He took the honorable way out so that he could be remembered for the good services he performed for the state and not for the atrocity he just committed.
