In this play, Shakespeare illustrates the misguided and passionate emotions of love and hate. Othello's strong affection for Desdemona illustrates his love. Othello's love quickly turns to hatred once Iago convinces him that Desdemona is having an affair with Michael Cassio and his passion for Desdemona dies. Othello's capricious disposition highlights how easily love and hate can transform into one another. Since both emotions are manifestations of deep desires they are unaffected by logic and reason.
