Othello and reality

                In the play Othello, racism and marriage between different races is the main issue. Othello’s background is around early modern period which many people had some prejudice about difference of races, however, this conflict still little bit remains in current period. For examples of occasion Asian family tradition, some Asian people don’t like to marry with other people with different race or nationality. We consider other races like black and white could ruin our family line and cause the disaster by anger our ancients. This means if I have strong family with strong prejudice on other races, I could still marry white woman but my families would not agree on marring foreigner. It doesn’t matter if they would agree or not. Because the Korean government has changed the law on marriage problems and personal decisions that family members can’t intercept. It is true that this problem has been reduced greatly. If Othello was born in current era, he would not have any problem marrying white woman like Desdemona since Europeans doesn’t have or have tiny amount of racism left. Also, racisms in European continent now are highly against the law so no one can disturb Othello’s marriage. In fact, people like Iago will use different type of persuasion because if Iago is in this era, convincing Othello by making him jealous because of racism. What people like Iago would use for the persuasion is by making their opponent jealous by how rich their opponents are and what are their opponent’s jobs because in this current era, having money means having power and everything that they could possibly want. I think current era has big conflict because having wealth became the major bonus when we can meet our lovers since we cannot find the true love that can ignore everything including wealth.
