Othello

"Get me some poison,Iago, this night. I'll not expostulate with her, lest her body and beauty unprovide my mind again."(4.1.205-208)

Othello has finally lost all reason. I feel that his mind and thoughts belong to Iago. He thinks and believes whatever Iago wants him to. Nonetheless I believe Othello is also at fault. I know, Othello knows the kind and virtuous person Desdemona is but he still let his image of her to be poison by Iago's words. Othello does not once sit down and try reason with her. Not once asked her if these accusations against her are really true. He just got angry and now he planing to kill his her. Othello fell into a place of darkness but never tried hard enough to see the light.

Iniquity: gross injustice or wickedness. A violation of right or duty; wicked act; sin.
