【正确答案】正确答案： Taking Shakespeare"s tragedy Othello as an example, the flaws of Othello, such as jealousy, credulity and diffidence, lead to the tragic killing of this play. Othello is the play"s protagonist, although he is not a native of Venice but rather a Moor, he is the highly respected general of Venice. His marrying with Desdemona in spite of the disapproval of her father is the beginning of the tragedy, but the frailty of Othello"s character is the main cause. First, Othello lacks self-confidence as he always considers himself as an outsider and not polished enough, we can see this from his saying " I am black, and have not those soft parts of conversation that chamberers have, and maybe a little old. " This weakness is taken by Iago, who makes mischief and tells Othello that Cassio had affairs with Desdemona. Though Othello is warned against being jealous " O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-ey"d monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds on" , he is quite credulous and overwhelmed by jealousy, and finally he killed his wife tragically. So we can see that Othello"s tragic suffering mainly stems from the frailties in his character.
