Othello; Hamlet- Act 1, Scene 2

In the class today, Shakespeare's Othello presents a king who is lured by Iago for gradually believing his words which is calculated designed. He is mentioned nobly by his character at first but opens up an irony afterward. In my viewpoint, it uncovers the lack of confidence and the fall of human nature when causing his suspicious of his wife and the illusion affected by Iago. Seen in this way, Othello's jealousy distorts his judgement in reason. Perhaps his jealousy is based on his mistrustful character. It appears that Othello fears something which might offense his dignity and crack his nobility in position of being a king. Nonetheless, his suspicion has put in the wrong person regarding to his weaken judgement in reason. As to Hamlet, he is so well-thought-out in my opinion. His monologue spontaneously reveals his personal critics toward the mother  and the death of his father. In addition, he can even perceive the meaning behind the entire events, phenomenon and its relationship. In some degree, Hamlet holds his viewpoint in some certain attitude but can hardly express to the public. Perhaps the public all stand in the ground of advancement for country, but Horatio and Hamlet see the core and essence from appearance.
