HOOK, LINE, AND THINKER

This is Part Three of my Othello series.
The themes of appearance vs. reality and identity crisis lie at the core of Othello. Everyone but Iago and his wife are aware of the non-com's agenda. Even the readers/audience, when he breaks the fourth wall, are/is left clueless of, for example, the reason why he is so negatively obsessed with Cassio.
And then, in the finale, Emilia shatters her husband's plans upon exposing them to light. But it is already too late: Desdemona is already dead, and Cassio is severely injured.
The Othello story is one that must be read between the lines, and one that allows more than one interpretation. Mine are:
-Those too innocent, including myself in the real world, repeatedly allow themselves to be stabbed in the back, and it's too late when they realize it.
- Very few people care for the good of others. Even altruistic deeds have a selfish thought behind them.
- The line between good and evil is both incredibly thin and incredibly easy to cross. And so is the line between love and hatred.
