- Othello is very different to how he's described...
- Proud and selfish - 'loving his own pride and purposes'. Savage and uncivilised - 'old black ram' Immoral 'a foul thief' and 'foul charms'
- He actually is... Aware and proud of war service. Defends himself and has a 'perfect soul'. In love with Des 'I love the gentle Desdemona'. Controlled - avoids violence 'keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them'. Contradicts racist slurs. Open about his actions 'willing to 'answer this your charge'.
