Speech About Reputation In Othello

In Othello, we see how reputation is an important part of how people see Othello. After Othello slaps Desdemona we see how Lodovico doesn’t believe that Othello is the general everyone in Venice knows and respects. This is also shown on why you should care about reputation because someone may respect you but others might not. It can also show you what people may not like about you or why they like you.
