Othello
 The primary aim of Shakespeargons Othello centers upon, I believe, the protagonists inability to unadulterated his marriage, a union that both figuratively and literally represents an voice of speech and sourion, whereas through his union with Desdemona an erotic desire should transubstantiate all things physical into a more spiritual country of confident, expressive love.  But from the first moments of Shakespeares play to the final scene, cozy union becomes anticipated, delayed, and then ultimately blasphemed into a grotesque mockery of loves consummate action.  Expectations of the ecstatic, while continually piqued, are not fulfilled until that fateful moment when, in a most ironic, unexpected way, Desdemonas bridal bed achieves a contrastive sort of passion, suggesting the aberration of love in the violent act of rape.  Whereas the play speaks of eros, erotic passion is left surprisingly inarticulate; that is, love finds no means for expression, has no voice, and thus neer achieves fulfillment.  Thus, in parallel fashion, the actions of Othello provide an equitable mirror of his harm to realize a change from physical desire into a nobler spiritual expression.
