Diction is the author's choice of words, taking into account correctness, clarity and effectiveness. Shakespeare's plays focus on human problems and their resolution. Shakespeare's use of diction throughout Othello is very unique because it is very clear in the emotions and plans of the characters. It lays out what a character's plan is before putting it into action. He also has a tendency to recount recent events. These subtle hints allow the reader to foreshadow and develop a feel for each character. The signs of what is to come are clearly visible through Iago's soliloquies. He often speaks openly about his revenge plan that only the reader will know. This in turn creates dramatic irony. The effect of this type of diction is that the reader has a clearer and more complete understanding of what exactly is happening. He uses imagery repeatedly to describe various people such as animals or in terms of comparing things. Most of the images concern Othello and his various travels or especially his jealousy. This use of imagery and diction is effective because in addition to simply having an idea of ​​what is happening, the reader can also have a mental image. These strong attacks of imagery are beneficial to the play as a whole because they provide strong imagery in which the overall action of the play can be amplified, which Shakespeare aspires to do. The women of the story: Desdemona and Emilia, play an important role in the theme of the story. A clear relationship can be made between Shakespeare's diction towards each of these women and the theme of ignorance behind a man's view of the women in his life, and misconceptions about what love truly is. Although it seems that Shakespeare used a lot of s.. .... middle of the paper ......nse, really showing Iago's superficial character and demonstrating the theme of ignorance behind a man's view of women . During the second act Iago continues to talk about what he believes is a perfect woman; one who has all the good qualities is balanced by another good quality. The way Shakespeare develops dialogue between his characters allows the reader to hear the words as if they were spoken to them personally. This helps to understand the personality of each character. Once a reader has developed an idea for each character and who they are, the audience begins to envision and analyze a theme for the story. Shakespeare uses imagery and repetition of events in his dialogue to make the story easy to understand. Overall, diction plays an important role in every story, whether it's describing a character, developing a plot, or understanding a theme.
