- Title
Shame in Othello.
- Authors
Fernie, Ewan
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the play "Othello" is presented. It outlines the characters and their symbolic significance including Othello, Desdemona and Iago. It states that shame overtook the image of these characters rather than jealousy. It mentions that the story of shame within the play is a strong hint of Christian penitence, with intimations of atonement and redemption.
