False Democracy
I believe a revolution is necessary. However, I don't think that it necessarily has to be a violent uprising.

During the Course of the Initial Three Scenes in Othello We See the Character of Othello Turn from Valiant Othello a Character of True Principles and Values into a Vengeful and Mistrusting Monster
Perhaps the most obvious change in Othello’s character is his loss of ability to reason.

Good signor, you shall more command with years than with your weapons.” (I.2 .59) However, contrasted with his later impulsive and careless actions the difference is
