Who is the hero in Othello?
The term "hero" is much abused in criticism of Shakespeare's works, and has generated, especially when qualified as a "tragic hero" some pretty strange criteria. But basically, it is like this: there are two main characters in this play, Othello and Iago. At the end of the day, does anyone feel even slightly sorry for Iago? He is a villain and no hero. That leaves only Othello. If tragedy is a sadness for the loss of what might have been, it is Othello's and Desdemona's tragedy--we feel sorry for them because they have lost their love, their marriage, their hopes and their lives. What has Iago lost that is comparable? Nothing. The only people who doubt that Othello can be the hero of this play, if anyone is, are racists and feminists, the former because they refuse to accept a hero who is black and the latter because they refuse to accept a hero who treats his wife like that. For them, I guess the play has no hero.
