Love and lust
are both universal and are constantly being applied in the lives of
people everywhere. Both love and lust can be found in all types of
relationships; one can love their significant other, their friend,
their relative, or anyone else who is a part of their life. These
two emotions hold the power to influence the decisions of others.
Those who make decisions based on
loveor lust can
have good results like showing affection, or the results can be
horrendous like stalking or harassing the person they are in love
with or lust for. Love and lust are two powerful feelings that can
be shown in different ways and can also be influenced by other
emotions, such as jealousy, resulting in different forms of
violence or harassment.

Many crimes of
passion are the result of jealousy. Othello shows readers how the
jealousy of one or two people can result in violent actions and
even death. In Othello, Roderigo was in love with Desdemona, who
was already married to Othello. He teamed up with Iago, who
possessed envy because Cassio had been promoted to the position
Iago desired. Together, Iago and Roderigo plotted to destroy
Cassios image and reputation as well as Desdemonas marriage. As
Iago began setting Cassio up, he began to develop feelings of his
own for Desdemona. Iago and Roderigos actions resulted in numerous
deaths throughout the play. First Iago stabs and kills Roderigo.
Then, Othellos jealousy leads him to smother Desdemona because she
was false with Cassio (Shakespeare 767). After Emilia outed Iago,
he pierced her with a knife, killing her. Lastly, Othello knifed
himself. All of these deaths occurred because two men were desirous
of things other people had. These acts exhibit the abominable
effects jealousy can have on peoples
