How tragic...
Shakespeare's Othello is a tragedy, for in the end everyone will die (spoiler alert). However, there are also elements of comedy as well. Shakespeare does a phenomenal job of bringing comic relief to a plot line that would otherwise be considered dull and boring. In Act II, scene i, Iago talks about the different types of women to Dez. This added an element of disbelief to the audience. The audience was not expecting Iago to break into a speech about how all women just want to be in bed. He had a very creative response to each question he was asked. Each time another question was asked, the audience expected him to not have an answer- but he did. Each answer was surprisingly similar in its nature.
