Othello Appeal To A Twenty First Century Audience

In my opinion Othello appeals to a twenty-first century earreach due to his musical compositions such as jealousy, deception, racism, manipulation, love and corrupt civilisation which is still relevant in todays society. These themes are themes that are timeless which seek human nature which is unchanging which still develop and evolve around us. The twenty first century audience would find Othello appealing as the master(prenominal) themes such as racism, jealousy and manipulation are still very prevalent in todays society.The main theme in the rime which we can still relate to centurys later is the theme of love, which is very prominent in Othello. Love makes the play ageless as yen as there are people on the earth love will always be surrounding us. Othello and Desdemona surrendered everything they had to be together. This resembles they modern day butterfly novel, play or movie. They did this even though they were aware it might result in serious conflict. Othello bids fare well the plumed troops and the big wars that make rivalry virtueO, Farwell, Farwell the neighing steed and shrill trump, the spirit stirring drum, their piercing fife, the royal banner, and all quality, pride, pomp, and circumstances of glorious war He tells us he won Desdemona non by magic but by telling her of his battles. Therefore Othello affirms his triumphant success on love by his successful career as a soldier. In todays society men look for success in a career and for a loving wife and this is what Othello achieves with Desdemona. A theme which is also very relevant in todays society is one of racism.Othello suffered from this greatly in the play. Just as Othello suffered from this it has carried on through the years, up until 1968 when the black community were finally given rights. Othello was constantly referred to as the moor and thick lips. As this happens it shows a hypocritical society as they would have them shelter their country but would find it shameful that h e married Desdemona. Many felt this way when the first black president of the United States was elected. Iago supposedly Othellos close friend tells brabantio that youll have your daughter covered with a Barbary horse.He then paints Othello as a crude and animalistic being and insinuates that he is sexually corrupting his daughter the innocent Desdemona. As the play goes on iago continues to go on about the unnatural nature of the relationship between Desdemona and Othello. He tells roderigo the craving between them will not last long It cannot be that Desdemona should long continue her love to the moor put money in thy purse- nor he his to her. This is a recurring situation today. Our two races are being separated by what each fears of the other.
