Othello 5

"If I do die before thee, prithee shroud me in one of those same sheets."

Othello is full of dramatic irony. It is typically expressed through Iago's  asides. I ago conveys his secret plans to the audience, and the characters don't know whats going to happen. I find it really ironic that Desdemona references death right before Othello kills her. She didn't know that she was about to be killed, but the audience did. They knew what Othello was planning to do to her. It seems like this irony was supposed to be humerus in some sick and twisted way, but I don't know. I wasn't very shocked by all of the deaths at the end. Shakespeare likes to kill off his main characters. I thinks that's kind of creepy. But times are different now, so maybe it has some sort of significance.
