Leadership theme in Othello

William Shakespe be is single of the most profound writers that ever existed his books stomach touched almost all aspects of life. I was drawn by Othello because of the life alike(p) s bulge out and brilliance the author used. How Shakespeare builds character of the wizards and antagonists is out of this world the while of scenes and vocabulary in use is also unparalleled.Not only in Othello but also in his other acts. Love and romance is one of the depicted objects that his bits revolved on we can say he used it as device to attract more readers and get a lineers, but if we look at it as a non marketing tool we can also say that he centered in it to confuse the authorities of England that were ruthless when it came to dealing with anti government policies, e.g colonialism. I solely deployed the review method of research as it would give me the filtered thoughts of professionals on the content.That said, neo-classic literature critics eat come to a truce that Othello is a play that lays bare the qualities of a true attractor and how the leading can influence the political and sparing sector. These traits can be put bare if one deciphers the underlying message in the characters actions and manner of speaking.All characters have different traits so I paid keen attention to the sensation and antagonist Othello and Lago. Their smooth distinction and how ones opinions and suggestions could affect the other lays bare the enviable and undesirable traits in attractorship. The main purpose of this review is to try and raise Shakespeares honorable audience that there is more to his plays than just love themes. leading theme in OthelloI will have to begin this introduction by a praise to the play master himself William Shakespeare. At the startle of the play the writer portrays Othello as a precise indecisive man and unperturbed hard lined to his shortcomings. Later on, the character takes a paradigm gaolbreak and he is able to be adored by the a udience. This is make accomplishable by his selfless actions capped with eloquent enticing skills.Lago who is the villain is evidently attached to the main character, staying true to his malicious cause he leads to the unforgettable demise of Othello. How this two interact should be an eye opener for leaders to be cautious and very selective of the party they keep and how that company influences his thoughts and delivery when in and out of duty. At the onset of the play we power have a likable feeling to contendds Lago but when detailing on the triggers of his actions we will see that he was created to clearly manifest shortcomings of any leader and what happens to them if they pushed to the breaking point by wrong influences.Lagos treacherous act were operate by human desires he wanted Cassios post as a lieutenant and that was his reason for spreading the rumor to his boss that his wife was having a secret affair with his enemy. We must also marvel at how Lago draw the equat ion and fixed Brabantio in it as he knew how over often he detested the affair Othello had with Desdemona. The obvious nonion that Lago had was that Othello would kill his competition.In tune of notions and deeds, we see that Othello had compulsory thoughts and his dear friend and he regular defended when direct arose. Their relation only proves how any person can be insecure to deceit and self destruction. It is sad that Othello permit Lago control his thoughts and deeds. The sequence of the scenes and how Othello behaves in different surroundings also profiles him as a very alarming person.The scenes shift between being tense, romantic and spiteful, notwithstanding this we realize that protagonist behaves benevolently in most of them until the point he felt that he could take it no more thanks to Lago. When cruising through the scenes, we realize that Lago has evenhandedly become the rudimentary character as when he is not there, his touch is seen in how Othello behav es. The level of contact and communication between these two characters even surpasses how the protagonist relates to his own wife Desdemona.The underlying message here is that the theme of leadership is the one that is on emphasis. The post Othello holds in the society and his racial background also gives the dynamics how leadership selection and election should be. The cases presented to the senate show a leader should behave and how cases should be handled. I think the hold scenes were scripted to intentionally lean on the romantic theme so that the audience attention doesnt waver or as had said earlier so that the authorities couldnt smell malice in the writing.Materials and methodsThe materials used were the play OTHELLO written by William Shakespeare and the online articles that supported the analysis that leadership theme was central in the play in question. To get a clear view of the topic I had to keenly analyze the scenes in the play, notice the way how the protagonist and antagonist behaved in them.I also used psychology scholarly articles to justify if the characters actions came out naturally or if there was a modicum of restraint and moderation despite the outward triggers to behave wildly. I gave an economic touch to this research by stating if the traits portrayed were beneficial or injurious if possessed by leaders in organizations. Results obtainedThere was mixture of both toughened and good qualities when Othello was the man in question.Among the good traits he possessed that do an astounding leader and likable characters wereTaking responsibility, he prove this when Lago came to find fault with him about the vengeful search that Brabantio had launched on him. Brabantio had an obvious dislike for Othello as he thought that he had used charm and voodoo to woe Desdemona, we can say that Brabantio used this claim on our protagonist as he was not from a white descent.Despite the warning and imminent threat of destruction that the latte r faced, he stood firm to his ground as swore not to flee a matter which he fulfilled (pluckrose-2017). He was ready to face the consequences if need be because he believed that what he did was true. He showed respect to his foes and elders whenever he was addressing them, such a scenario were when he was presented to the senate to answer a case where Brabantio had accused him of charming his daughter.He praised the senators by referring to them as his very noble and approved masters. The word masters is emphasized cause it meant that despite his post, he still acknowledged that he fell under the laws of the land.He was a peace maker this was evident when an infuriated Brabantio approached him with his swordsmen. Instead of reacting in panic, disquietude or anger, he diffused the tension with a joke and proved he was a peace maker.It is evident that he had skills in war and he would have opted to use them in that moment if he was a selfish and ruthless leader. He opted not to becau se he knew there are civilized ways of solving matters.His composed and eloquent character made him stand out in all the scenes, the writer made it come in like he was the most learned person in the integral play. He maintains his composure When being presented at the senate for heinous claims and still achieves a rhyme when speaking, he says signormasters..daughterand her in one sentence.We see slightly senators showing admiration to the protagonist.Jealousy and gullibility are some of the negative traits that Othello exhibits. He lets Lagos words get into his and hood his judgment. He tends to lay so much trust in the antagonist that he doesnt bother verifying the legitimacy of the words a matter that culminated to his tragic demise.The jealous he feels for the rumored consanguinity between his wife and Cassio prove him emotionally weak, also a matter that leads to the tragic end of the play.He thought Self depreciation warranted him to depreciate Cassios abilities. He acknow ledged his own weaknesses and assumed that his love opponent that was a much lesser man than him. This is a very worrying trait for a business leader to posses as it doesnt lead to solving of a problem.He was overconfident in his doings and words. He used outrageous words to demean Cassio and filled his head with ideas that Cassio was lesser man hence could not compete with him in any way. It is by this assumptions that he starting plotting to kill his wife and her purported lover.He was emotionally weak. This trait was not evident at the beginning when he stayed to meet eye to eye with Brabantio but when he let Lago get into his head he lost his entire cool and behaved like an uncivilized moron by ending his own life.Discussion and conclusionFrom the supra results we notice that all men can be vulnerable to big(a) influence, if only Othello had kept Lago a little bit far from him they he would have maintained his reputation as a perfect leader. The positive traits that have elabor ated can help the managers in decision reservation and situation handling in the corporate world (stein-2005). A leader must learn to be responsible and accountable for his own actions when he feels that what he did was right.Even if he is wrong, he must judge himself raspingly as failure leads to experience. From Othellos descent we learn that race does not break ones traits, Othello was not a pure white man but he proved to be wiser and more composed than Lago. With inference from the original text and the examples I used, we reach a conclusion that leadership is truly the main theme in the play and that love is only used as style to attract the audience and capture its attention.ReferencesAn online article written by Helen Pluckrose on 19th January 2017Evolution psychology in the humanities Shakespeares Othellohttps//areomagazine.com/2017/01/19/evolution-psychology-in-the-humanities-shakespeare-othello/ pedantic journal by M Stein written in 2005The Othello problem the inner c ontagion of leadershiphttps//journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0170840605055339
