"Chaos is come again", a offer that epitomises the development of disorder throughout Othello. It allows us, as the audience to be shown how disorder or an "inversion of the normal order in a society" is evident and steady throughout the play. We see this as an "Inversion" because Iago brings some extent of "chaos" in to the functioning of the state of hawaii in Venice, turning the violence inherent in a military services man such as Othello against the state's ordered population. To comprehend disorder, we have to know the change that has happened and also the social parameter to steer whether we can school a certain event as chaotic or as an element of disorder.
When Desdemona marries Othello, the moor of Venice, we visit a radical form of disorder. In renaissance Venice it was rare for the occurrence of inter-racial relationships, arguably it was frowned upon. Evidently there is an clear chaos in modern culture if marriages such as this occur from the social norm. The whole matrimony idea seems just a little chaotic because individuals were discriminatory towards Othello so that it implies that the marriage was not accepted. Roderigo message or calls him "thick-lips" which puts a rather grotesque perspective in the reader or audience's head against what we should usually think of someone dignified. Iago explains to Desdemona's daddy, Brabantio, the horrors that could happen if Desdemona were to marry Othello "you should have your daughter covered with a Barbary equine, you should have your nephews neigh for you". By expressing that Brabantio could have grandsons that would become horses due horse-like quality in Othello it could appear that Brabantio considers Othello to be nothing more than an ill-formed pet. We as the audience can see by means of Desdemona a contradiction in the play which shows how Desdemona creates a moment of radical disorder when she marries Othello because she is going against the socially accepted parameters of courtship and love.
It is with Iago's elaborate manipulation of words that people see an aspect of disorder developed. Iago doesn't just inform evil and malicious lies about Desdemona and Cassio. He changes the whole dynamic of what in every little bit of dialogue. In Take action 3, World iii, we see Iago use what "think" and "honesty" consistently to express his thoughts and feeling over a certain situation, "for Michael Cassio, I dare be sworn; I feel that he's honest". In this instance Iago is in fact telling the reality and this questions Othello's entire ideology as soon as again his world is flipped upside-down. Othello even says that Iago is "filled with love and integrity", yet we, as the audience, see this as absurd because Iago, who is so deceitful, can't possibly be called genuine. Terms is therefore critical in showing how this facet of disorder is developed. We are able to see that whenever honesty has more than one meaning and thinking becomes treacherous that Othello starts to fall into the pit of despair and chaos, where finally there is no desire of escaping.
Othello in the beginning of the play is the epitome of calmness and reeks of respect in his role as a captain. However at each change, Iago traps him in a headache where in fact the order and stability of his military services life falls aside. Iago tempts Othello's imagination and in order to draw forth a remedy regarding Othello's thoughts on Cassio, the peaceful and controlling Othello brings himself to produce a personal plea, stating, "If thou dost love me, Show me thy thought. " No more is the made up captain, composed. Othello is reduced to attractive to the nice graces of someone inferior to him. This reversal of status, from calm to agitation, reveals Othello's steady plunge into Iago's web of deceit. So needy by the end of the picture to disprove the suspicions germinated in his mind by Iago, Othello threatens the life of his tormentor "or woe upon thy life". This stark compare to the man at the beginning of the play who would not even sketch his sword against a mob out to fight for the idea of social normality, plainly shows the depths to which Othello's world has collapsed into turmoil and the depths to which he falls into the madness of jealousy.
The symbolic aspect of disorder is developed by using the handkerchief. Something which in virtually any other situation would appear insignificant, but because the handkerchief symbolizes something more powerful within the marital connection between Othello and Desdemona it has the ability to add an almost dystopian result upon Othello's probably blissful and paradisiacal life. The handkerchief is a gift idea between Othello and Desdemona which Desdemona holds all over with her to show the love between your two of them and always has it with her, "to kiss and talk to". It is also symbolic for Desdemona's fidelity because Othello's mother supposedly held it with her to keep Othello's daddy faithful to her. Therefore when the handkerchief falls into Iago's hands, it foreshadows the happenings that eventually Othello and cause him to truly have a state of mental disorder because the main part of the relationship, the fidelity, has been lost therefore this notion of symbolic or ideological disorder shows up and causes Othello to arguably lose all sense of sanity. The handkerchief is a supplier of remarkable irony because, it in its very lifetime is supposed to symbolize things that are true, genuine and good, yet it becomes an indicator of Othello's mistrust and insecurity. Again a complete switch-around in Othello's life is created and is also therefore critical in demonstrating how he became so jealous and disordered.
Through Iago's underhanded lexical alterations of terms and real truth, Othello plummets from the levels of admiration to being an incomprehensible wreck battling with the effects of hamartia. His world brought to chaos by the bafflement of terms and love, Othello manages to lose all control over himself and his rage. Shakespeare clearly enables the reader to see every part of disorder, from interpersonal disorder, where in fact the ideas of a society are converted upside- down or radical disorder where chaos happens quickly and with a feeling of immediacy. We also observe how each elaborate device is developed which is carefully finished with the use of language, especially when shaping someone's view or impression.
