social problem in Othello
Suicide
Today one of the biggest social problems is suicide. The definition of suicide is the act of killing one’s self. The main reason why people commit suicide is that they believe they don’t have any hope and cannot overcome their negative situation. In the play “Othello” by William
Shakespeare, the protagonist Othello chooses to commit suicide because he cannot stand his situation and feels guilty over killing his wife Desdemona for misunderstanding her because of lago’s lie. Although Othello’s suicide wasn’t based on a true story, in today’s society suicide is one of the most prevalent forms of death. People cannot choose when they are born and when they can die and so Othello should have found other ways to cope with his sadness by learning from his mistakes and helping others. As shown in Othello, suicide isn’t the best way to solve a problem because if Othello didn’t give up, he and others who commit suicide in today don’t allow the opportunity to preserver through temporary adversities.
There are thousands people killing themselves each week and there are many reason why people commit suicide. From the article “Clues in the Cycle of Suicide” by David Dobbs, “people usually commit suicide because personal, social-system and environmental factors combine to push them to a new place of energized despair.” This shows how some people commit suicide for various reasons. Othello committed suicide for personal reasons. People who have mental disorders are at a higher chance to commit suicide. Disorders that affect the biology of mood and behavior such as depression and bipolar, can cause a person to act impulsively on shaky, temporary emotions. For example, Othello couldn’t control his emotions and acted upon them. When people get very upset, they cannot control their mood and behavior and so they lose their sense of responsibility, priorities and overall reality.
