Power Of Jealousy In Othello's Demons

Once Albert Schweitzer has said, “The tragedy of life is what dies inside of a man while he lives.” This is saying life is a precious gift, but during lifetimes, this gift has been wasted or abused, Which becomes a tragedy. Othello is one of William Shakespeare’s tragedies, originally written as a play and have been adapted into films, tv productions, and a remix. This story revolves two characters: Othello, the general in Venetian army and Iago, the main antagonist, Iago, Othello’s bearer but wants to ruin his life. Demons is a song by American rock band Imagine Dragons, written by Imagine Dragons and released on Jan 28, 2013.
