Othello Acts I-III

Othello by William Shakespeare contains many examples of foreshadowing. All of those examples come from Iago's elaborate plan. His plan is flawlessly coming together, but what will exactly happen? This is the first act in which Iago does not conclude with a soliloquy, so he does not have any thing new to reveal. I believe that Othello will end up murdering Desdemona because it is a tragedy and because he wants to kill her: "To furnish me with some swift means of death/For the fair devil." (III.iii.479-480). Also, I believe that Othello will commit suicide because it seems that all of Shakespeare's tragic heroes commit suicide. After he kills Desdemona, he realizes the shame he has brought to Italy, and commits suicide, so that people will remember his good name. The villain, however, will not live either. He will  go to kill Cassio to tie off loose ends and blame the death of Cassio on Othello. Cassio will actually kill Iago and expose him for the true villain he really is. That, I believe, is how this tragedy will finish, based upon foreshadowing and Shakespeare's other plays.
