Write an essay on the following extract. Your essay should include analysis of language. You should also identify which of the theme(s) in the play are evident here, and how it might be performed.

In the play 'Othello', four characters are murdered. The character Iago, who manipulated certain characters into wanting to kill them. Desdemona, Emilia, Othello, and Roderigo, are killed. Iago originally did this out of jealousy of Othello and Roderigo. The deaths of these four characters were inevitable. There was justice in this play for all of the characters who were involved in the killing of the four characters.

Act V Scene II in many ways represents the emotional climax of the play. The events which have preceded this point have led Othello to the decision to kill his beautiful wife Desdemona. The major themes of this act are the emotional conflict felt by Othello and the protestation of innocent express by Desdemona.

The play's final, bloody scene opens in the bed chambers of Othello and Desdemona as the deranged Moor battles between his love for his beautiful young wife and his desire to murder her.
