"Othello"
By: William Shakespeare
"'Let nobody blame him, his scorn I approve- (IV.iii.50)'" Throughout Shakespeare's writing, foreshadowing is used to allow the most involved reader to look analytically at the writing while those less focused to simply ride along until the end. As Desdemona sings the line above, she unknowingly suggests that she will not blame Othello for the accusations he makes towards her. Despite the cruelty such comments will lead to, her love is stronger and she will see his true character behind his own blind confusion. The phrase suggests that despite Othello's own lack of trust, she trusts in him and in his love. She knows that something is wrong that has caused him to not see her love or even his own, but yet she does not turn away from him, but rather sings of always staying true to him. She sings of being loyal unto the end. The end led to by death.
Foreshadowing. One of the most prevalent and common techniques used throughout Shakespearean writing. A technique that involves the reader, directs their thoughts, and suggests possibilities. A writing style that takes careful planning which allows the story to develop realistically and aiding in the reader's connection to the piece.
