Journal 10

At the end of the play Othello, an insightful speech is delivered by the hero, Othello.  Othello gave his speech in order to encourage the witnesses to remember him for his good qualities instead of his wrong doings before he killed himself.  Othello says, "...must you speak of one that loved not wisely but too well, of one not easily jealous, but being wrought perplex'd in the extreme."  In that quote Othello tried to convince the audience that he loved Desdemona passionately even though he made a mistake, and he would not have been a jealous man if he had not been tricked by Iago.
