Othello: Act 4

The problem with every relationship in this play is the fact that their is no communication. If the characters would communicate with each other so many more things could be cleared up, and so many issues and problems would be unavoidable.

I can't believe that Desdemona just let Othello hit her without even asking for so much as an explanation. If my spouse hit me out of the blue, I would hit them back. Especially not knowing what caused it, or not having done anything to trigger it. I would then ask for an explanation for why they hit me. The best way to solve issues is to communicate. Without having communication you have nothing. I also would ask for an explanation to the accusations Othello is making towards Desdemona. If my spouse was calling me a whore I would ask them why they were calling me that and not leave without an explanation.

I'm thinking that in Act 5 a lot of people are going to be killed. Obviously Othello is going to die because it's the tragedy of Othello, but I think before he is killed that Desdemona and Cassio will be killed also. I'm very anxious to see who kills Othello, how they do it, and why.
