When people are in love, the emotions felt are very unique but the power of love can sometimes make man do crazy things. Experiencing this feeling may happen instantly, or it could take time to develop. Even though love sounds great, there are times when it can lead to a dramatic downfall. The feeling of love can lead to violence and anger if worthy people thought to be honest devotes time to dishonestly ruin relationships. In William Shakespeare's story Othello, he portrayed and developed the topic of love to destroy people though anger,violence,mistrust along with uncertainty. Anger felt when your wife cheats on you can lead to devastating consequences.

The character Othello is fueled by anger and starts to change when Iago speaks of Desdemona cheating on him. Once man and women are happily married, all seems well. If someone is suspected of cheating on their lover, it can drastically alter their state of mind. "Oh,now forever farewell the tranquil mind....Othello's occupation's gone."(Shakespeare 3,3 399-409) In this situation Othello starts to lose his dignity. He cannot handle mentally whats going on and starts to melt down. He even speaks of resigning from his job as general. In addition to love interfering with his career, it also makes him very angry. Iago's taunting of the handkerchief being in possession of Cassio further infuriates him. "If it be that, or any that was her, It speaks against her with the other proofs"(Shakespeare 3,3 500-501) This statement by Iago makes Othello think that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio. Othello's anger can get so overwhelming that he fell into an epileptic seizure. Iago takes full advantage of this. "Nature would not...Handkerchief!-oh devil" (Shakespeare 4,1 48-53) The false affair enrages Othello so much that he falls into a epileptic seizure. His anger is starting to affect his health and well being. The entire affair has been caused by Iago's mistrust and his ability to attack people’s weak points.
