From the Paper:
"Women in tragedies are indeed destroyed or absent from the "new order consolidated at the conclusion" (Sprengnether, 9). This is also much the same in Shakespeare's Othello; the bold social, historical, and cultural gender biases are clearly evident to the contemporary reader. Women seem to be the stimuli that manipulate and shape the characters' (read: men) lives negatively. Whether it is through passive or active intervention, women are blamed for the horrific consequences at the conclusion of this particular tragedy, and it is this exact reason why I feel that Shakespeare does not allow women to be involved with the conclusion of Othello."Visitors who viewed this Essay also liked these:
