Jealousy is a powerful emotion. It can cause a person to experience anger, disgust, and sadness. Jealousy can occur when a possession is lost and emotions can spiral out of control causing a person to do whatever it takes to feel better. The Othello video was cleverly put together. All the clips from the movie match very well with the song "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers. Jealousy is a popular theme in many art forms. It was also a popular theme with the works of William Shakespeare. Othello and The Merchant of Venice are two examples of Shakespearean works that involve jealousy.
In Othello, William Shakespeare created the greatest villain of all time, Iago. Iago did not even lift a finger to execute his devious plan. In the video, Iago's monologue, he talks of his plan and how he will execute it. The video helps the viewer see and hear the contempt Iago has for Othello. Iago merely instills a little jealousy and causes a catastrophe to unfold. Heed the warnings and beware of jealousy.
The Merchant of Venice is an interesting example--what specifically in that play relates to Othello?
