I can explore the ways in which Othello is a tragic hero.

Show transcript
Othello may be considered a tragic hero as he recognises the root of his downfall. Othello's hamartia might be his jealousy or his naive trust of Iago. Othello’s hubris may be shown when he won’t consider Desdemona’s viewpoint or when he views himself as a godly figure. Othello's demise is also triggered by his stubbornness.
