Revenge and prejudgement

As we were told before reading this play, Othello has some major themes. One theme is that of revenge. Iogo seeks revenge on Othello for choosing Casio as his luteniant while Rodriges wants Othello's wife, Desmoda, for himself. Iago and Rodriges manipulate the characters to achieve revenge through out the play. THis is seen when Iago turns Brabantio against Othello but pretends to be Othello's loyal officer. Iago is not what he seems. Rodriges seeks revenge by telling Brabantio that his daughter has married Othello and tries to get Othello imprisioned or killed. Another theme is prejudgment. Most of the characters prejudge Othello for being a Moor. In fact he accusssed of using magic by Brabantio. I'm sure these themes will be carried out more clearly through out the play. These themes are timeless and universal.
