    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. Early into the play, we see him command respect amongst his peers and �diffuse’ tension between characters to prevent a fight breaking out, “Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them. 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
