The Complexity of Honor and Jealousy in Othello's Leadership

In Act 3 of Shakespeare's Othello, Iago warns Othello about jealousy, describing it as a "green-eyed monster." This moment stands out as one of the few honest remarks from Iago, underscoring the destructive power of jealousy. Honor is a central theme in the play; it prompts us to reflect on personal integrity and leadership qualities. As viewers approach junior year, it's vital to consider how we can exemplify honorable leadership. Othello's duality as a leader shows both his strengths and his tragic flaws. How can we engage with these themes in our own lives?
