Create a 6 pages page paper that discusses the heroism of othello. According to the research findings, heroes (or heroines) must have three essential character traits. These include a noble stature, excessive pride and a tragic flaw. These three character traits must function in a way that leads that character through the three major actions of the tragic hero. These include his or her downfall from grace, their admission of guilt or responsibility for this downfall and the ability for them to be redeemed in the end though they are often only redeemed in memory at this point. In his final words in the play named for him, Shakespeare’s character Othello confesses that he has “loved not wisely, but too well”. This insight goes a long way toward explaining his essential nature as a tragic hero with his tragic flaw being his lack of appropriate discretion in determining where he should place his loyalties. Generally, heroism refers to a character that embodies our concepts of what is good and noble in the human race. Othello is a good example of this as he has risen, through his own hard effort, from the pits of slavery to the General of the Venetian ships which are revealed when he announces, “I fetch my life and being / From men of royal siege [rank]. and my demerits [deserts] / May speak unbonneted to as proud a fortune / As this that I have reached [are equal to]”. In true keeping of a hero, though, Othello’s prestige is attested to by the Duke himself as he tends to call upon Othello at times of great need: “Valiant Othello, we must straight employ you / Against the general enemy Ottoman”. Othello’s nobility lies not just on the surface level of his earned position in society but is also evident in his own moral judgment. This is shown when he is faced with an angry father and his warlike supporters: “Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them / Good signior, you shall more command with years / Than with your weapons”.
