Right before Othello committed suicide, he began to realize the mistakes and accomplishments of his life. For his own epiphany, he stated to others that he was not a bad person. He was a proud warrior that defeated the Turks, commander of his troops, followed the law, and lived his life to the fullest. However, it was his last mistake that would affect his life the most and lead him to his death. Othello believed his “friend” rather than his loving and loyal wife. Instead of communicating with Desdemona, he assumed that Iago was correct with his philosophy. Othello had fallen for Iago’s wicked tricks and killed a loyal friend named Cassio and his wife Desdemona in trying to stop Iago’s belief. He hated himself for taking the life of innocent and beautiful human beings so much that he believed he had to do something to make amends. Therefore, he believed that sacrificing himself would be the best way to die because he still wanted to be recognized and respected for the person and solider he was.
