| 摘 要： | When we read Shake speare's tragedies,we can not help feeling thatthe most painful and the most pathetic one might be Othello.For inHamlet,the hero knows his rival olearly to be his uncle clandius,themost vicious,incestus villain,thus he is on guard;in King Lear,theold king is the only victim of human ingratitude;only in othello,thenoble hearted hero is completely in the darkness,unaware of his enemy,and mislays his trust upon the most incomparably ingenious and unscru-pulous villain.He is led by the nose.to believe that his newly weddedwife is not as pure as he has thought before and finally to strangle thesublimely innocent and pure angel upon her wedding sheet,conceiving ofhimself as the agent not of vengeance but of divine justice.This mightbe the cruelest act that has ever happened inhuman history.This tragedyis partly due to the intrigues of the shameless villain Iago,partly dueto the vunerableness of the hero's character.
