Abstract
In this analysis of Shakespeare's "Othello, the author discusses how Othello, Iago and Desdemona are victimized by the envy and jealousy of Iago's trickery. The author further emphasizes how Othello's lack of moral objectivity is often the subject of Iago's cunning. The paper then shows how this loss of moral objectivity ultimately acts as the foundation for Iago's success over Othello.
From the Paper
"In these lines, Iago's envious understanding of Othello's jealousy is a successful modus operandi for his diabolical scheme to sabotage Othello's career. When Iago successfully dissolves Othello's trust in Cassio, one can see a glimpse of his anger, which would commit murder against his wife in a jealous rage. In this manner, the racial superiority that Iago feels toward his Moorish superior helps to begin the cataclysm of jealousy that cascades through Iago and then into the marriage of Othello and Desdemona."

Abstract
This paper examines how jealousy is an ever-present phenomenon that can have negative consequences on romantic relationships. It looks at how jealousy is more prevalent in relationships where one or both parties have low self-esteem. It analyzes how this feeling of inadequacy leads to other negative feelings as well, including loneliness, powerlessness, and relational uncertainty among others. The relationship between self-esteem and jealousy is examined, noting other significant variables that have an influence on both self-esteem and jealousy, as well as the manner in which jealousy is handled.

Expression of Jealousy and Relational Outcome
From the Paper
"People with low self esteem are often the ones likely to experience the greatest amount of jealousy and to mistrust their partner. This incessant jealousy leads the party with low self esteem to grow increasingly dissatisfied with the relationship. Rotenberg, Shewchuk, and Kimberly (2001) took the information that lonely individuals have low self esteem and are generally dissatisfied with romantic relationships. They went on to determine whether this loneliness and powerlessness may be connected to jealous behavior and expression. They found the correlation to be positive; jealousy is related to loneliness and powerlessness which in turn might possibly affect one?s self esteem."

Advertising, Envy and Jealousy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Jealousy and envy of others is often used in the advertising and marketing world to promote product sales. The image and stereotypes of ideal and desired objects and people are purposely manipulated to initiate a feeling of both envy and jealousy to motivate the viewer or audience to purchase the product. The well-known sociologist John Berger describes advertising in terms of envy. He states that advertising works by"... proposing to each of us that we transform ourselves, or our lives, by buying something more.... [Advertising] persuades us of such a transformation by showing us people who have apparently been transformed and are, as a result, enviable. The state of being envied is what constitutes glamour."

Abstract
This paper begins by defining jealousy as a negative, complex human emotion that represents a provoked response to problems posed by real and/or perceived threats to an exclusive dyadic relationship. It is most commonly associated with long-term romantic relationships and sexual relationships. The paper then looks at the different experiences of men and women in dealing with jealousy within relationships and with other people. The paper references two theories, known as evolutionary-psychological and socio-cultural in studying and understanding this phenomenom.
From the Paper
"The psychology of gender has evolved and has been modified dramatically over the past decade from descriptive cataloguing of gender-related differences and similarities to specific areas of inquiry within organized theoretical or methodological framework. Much of the history of behavioural sciences has involved the attempt to come to grips with a dilemma of gender-determined reaction to sexual and emotional infidelity."

Gender and Jealousy, 2005.

Abstract
It has been argued by some theorists that men have evolved to be more jealous then women because jealousy promotes the male's genetic fitness. This paper first examines jealousy as a whole and its causes. Then, it examines research on the concept that men are more jealous than women and shows that, while there is evidence for this theory, there is also substantial evidence that women and men are equally jealous.
From the Paper
"Since women rely on the male to impregnate them, and since they can choose their partners, they are able to control who supplies the genetic material for their offspring. Males, however, rely on the female to reproduce. Thus, while they can have sexual relations with the female, they cannot assure that the female is not having sexual relations with another. This means that men are less able to control the passing on of genetic materials (Buss, 1996)."

Jealousy, 2004.
A discussion of jealousy as an emotion as well as a concept.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of jealousy. Specifically, it provides an extended definition of the abstract concept of jealousy.
From the Paper
"What is jealousy? Dictionary.com defines jealousy as "A jealous attitude or disposition or close vigilance." However, this succinct definition does not tell the whole story. Jealousy is much more than an attitude or disposition. For some, it is a way of life, and for others, it can consume their life, changing it forever. Take the case of California socialite Betty Broderick, who found her husband with his secretary/lover and killed them both in a jealous rage (Cupach and Spitzberg 33). Jealousy can be a dangerous emotion, but why is jealousy so emotionally charged? Usually, jealousy is a negative or passionate reaction to a situation, and that is what can make it so dangerous."

Jealousy in "Othello", 2005.
An examination of the concept of jealousy in Shakespeare's "Othello".

Abstract
This paper briefly compares the jealous nature of Othello and Iago. Using examples from the play, the writer questions whether Iago was more jealous that Othello and whether their jealous natures impacted each other's incorrect decisions throughout.
From the Paper
"Othello is often described as a tragic character because he is a great leader and military hero who is brought low by one, fatal personal flaw that he is otherwise unaware of-namely his jealousy. But really it seems as if Iago is the more jealous of the two men, jealous of the Moor's advancement in Venetian society, and of the promotion of Michael Cassio. One of the first things Iago says in the play, in Act 1, Scene 1 to Rodrigo is "Why, there's no remedy; 'tis the curse of service, /Preferment goes by letter and affection, /And not by old gradation, where each second/Stood heir to the first." (1.1) In other words, rather than merit and age, people who are pretty and preferred like Cassio get promoted-a statement that seethes with jealousy. In contrast to Iago, Othello in fact seems to possess a free and open nature, and seldom jealously begrudges anyone of anything they are truly, fully owed. He leaps into service for the state immediately upon his wedding night when the city is threatened militarily. Instead, Othello's true tragic flaw is his sense of being an outsider."

From the Paper
"This study will investigate jealousy, defining it, noting its emotional components, its causes and effects, and treatment modalities.
In a "Dear Abby" column by Abigail Van Buren, a woman wrote in saying that the man she recently married "was always jealous, but I thought he would change (after marriage). I was wrong. Although I've never given him any reason to doubt me, he checks up on my every move (Van Buren E3).
Abby suggests professional help for the man, making it clear that as much as most people appreciate "a little jealousy" on the parts of their mates to indicate "that they care," it is obvious that a little of this powerful emotion goes a long way and in its most severe form certainly does call for professional intervention."

Abstract
This paper discusses how sexual jealousy drives the plots of "Othello" and "The Winter's Tale". It shows how one play is a tragedy, the other a romance, or tragic-comedy, and how different genres imply different audience expectations. The paper explains how Shakespeare modifies the two jealousy plots to produce the effects aimed at in the two different kinds of plays.
From the Paper
"Sexual jealousy prevails in the romantic and yet sometimes tragic "The Winter's Tale" from beginning to end. Leontes believes his wife, Hermione has been unfaithful to him, and has her jailed. While in jail, she has a child, who he disowns and abandons in the wilderness. However, Leontes soon learns that his jealousy is not only misplaced, it is extremely costly to his family. His only son dies from grief at his mother's imprisonment, and soon Hermione is also reported dead. Leontes is so distraught, he secludes himself for sixteen years before he discovers his lost child and that Hermione is still alive. The romance ends happily, with everything right in the world again. "

Iago's Role in the Tragedy of "Othello", 2008.
An analysis of Iago's role in the tragedy of William Shakespeare's play, "Othello."

Abstract
This paper discusses jealousy as one of the central motives in William Shakespeare's play, "Othello." It discusses the jealousy between Iago and Cassio, the Moor and Cassio, as well as between Iago and the Moor. The paper shows how through Iago's deceitfulness, hatred and disloyalty, the tragedy of the play occurred. The paper suggests that if it had not been for Iago's unsympathetic sentiments and the jealousy, the play might have had a different ending.
From the Paper
"Even though many blame the tragedy on Othello's gullibility, it is Iago's tricky and devious behavior that launched and triggered it. Since Othello profoundly trusted Iago, he hardly ever suspected any infidelity from him and that is proven throughout the whole script, in statements such as, "Honest Iago,/ My Desdemona must I leave to thee"(Act I, Scene III, 295). As a consequence, Iago took advantage of Othello's trust and kept revealing more of his forged love, which is proved in the play when Iago alleged that, " Though I do hate him as I do hell-pains,/Yet, for necessity of present life,/I must show out a flag and sign of love" (Act I, scene I, 154-156). It is the "flag and sign of love" which Iago revealed, that instigated Othello's gullibility, and if it wasn't for that advantage, Othello would've not fallen in Iago's trap. Unfortunately, the one closest to the heart is the greatest enemy; because it is him that knows the weakness of one's heart and mind. Iago was indeed very disloyal to his Moor, and deceitful by his behavior toward him."

The Rise and Fall of Iago, 2004.
A look at the manner in which Iago manages to rise and fall in Shakespeare's play, "Othello".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
William Shakespeare?s play, "Othello", should be renamed "Iago" because, throughout the play, we witness the rise and fall of Iago?s character. When we consider this perspective, we will assume that Iago?s rise occurs from his success in turning Othello into a jealous monster. Iago is able to achieve this because he is very cunning and smart. It is also important to note that he understands jealousy because he is a jealous man as well. This paper explores the how Iago was able to rise and fall in "Othello".
From the Paper
"He advises Othello to ?Look to your wife; observe her will with Cassio./Wear your eye thus: not jealous, nor secure? (III.iii.195-6). Because Othello is first to mention his suspicions, Iago has successfully isolated himself from any of the blame. Kenneth Muir states that Iago ?exploits the virtues as well as the weaknesses of Othello and of Desdemona, weaknesses both of character and situation? (Muir 35). Paul Cantor agrees with this notion, adding that ?Iago turns everything that makes the love of Othello and Desdemona so extraordinary into an objection against it. The fact that they have overcome such differences in order to love each other becomes in Iago?s view evidence for the improbability of their remaining loyal to each other? (Cantor). Iago?s actions regarding these statements illustrate his cunning nature."

Iago in "Othello", 2004.
An examination of the character of Iago in Shakespeare's play, "Othello", and a linking of Iago to Machiavellian philosophies.
1,745 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 82.95

Abstract
This paper explains that Iago is the villain in "Othello"; he is presented as the epitome of deceit and malice. It shows that Iago is a true Machiavellian figure, who does everything that Machiavelli thought a ruler should do to overcome his enemies and achieve his goals.
From the Paper
"However this has been done while keeping the character wrapped in thick clouds of honesty and truthfulness. This is a strange paradox as the on the surface we are repeatedly told that Iago is an honest man and he also considers himself to be so, while beneath all this fake honesty, he is always trying to stab someone in the back.
Because of his crafty nature, this character can also be considered a true Machiavellian figure. Close reading of Machiavelli?s work reveals certain link between Iago and Machiavellian prince. Yet despite all his slyness, the character repeatedly claims to be an honest person (Cassal, 2003). This fa?ade of honesty allows him to perform his essential tasks of manipulation and revenge."

Iago, 2004.
An exploration of Iago?s role in William Shakespeare?s play ?Othello?.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the character of Iago in Shakespeare?s play ?Othello? has instigated many different analyses, with different critics arguing about his character, motives, techniques and his overall function to the play. It discusses how few of these literary critics would argue that he does not possess an evil nature, but there are several different interpretations to how we would regard Iago?s character and what his role is in ?Othello?. It shows how from the outset of the drama, Shakespeare makes effective use of dramatic irony and permits the audience to ascertain Iago?s actual disposition, as Iago admits that he is a calculated and self-seeking beguiler.
From the Paper
"Iago is one of Shakespeare?s most sophisticated Machiavellian villains whose role is utterly crucial to the play. His motives for committing his evil acts are often difficult to determine, although jealously plays a large role for his desire to dissemble those who he dislikes. It is his professional jealousy that leads him to want to deprecate Cassio, but on a personal level, he also resents him for having an attractive wife while fearing that Cassio has committed adultery with Emilia, his own wife. He destroys Othello partly for this same fear, that the general ?has twixt my sheets?done my office?, but he is also enraged with Othello for promoting Cassio rather than himself."

Iago and Othello, 2003.

Abstract
Beginning with Iago's initial exchange with Roderigo and Brabantio, this paper works through the first 3 Acts of the play "Othello" by William Shakespeare looking at the way in which Iago moves his plan forward. The semantic fields and imagery sequences are examined in detail, with analysis and line references after each quote highlighted in bold for easy cross-referencing. All quotes are well integrated and put into context. The paper also includes character analysis of Iago and Othello.
From the Paper
"Iago's next exchange with Othello shows how successful he has been - Othello makes it clear he has convinced himself of Desdemona's guilt in Iago's absence: "I swear 'tis better to be much abused / Than but to know a little." 3.3.338/9, and "What sense had I of her stolen hours of lust?" 3.3.341. One can infer that Iago is delighted by this, as it means he has been successful, and with the handkerchief in his possession he can offer proof of her 'guilt'. Emilia's deception came just at the right moment, as Othello demands "ocular proof" which Iago is now in a position to give. One may argue that he was playing things rather riskily by "abusing" Othello's ears without the proof of the handkerchief, but now things are falling into place more by luck than by his own manipulation."
