Othello: by Shakespeare

In the shakesprean tragic drama we see hero of the play of great structure having a great social status.at the same time in the place we see the position of such hero's and it's speak but for the readers interest hero's of shakesprean tragic drama always have some serious tragic flaws in them and ultimately this tragic flaw becomes the cause of the fall of hero.
Therefore we can say that Othello is tragic play because it has all characteristics which tragic play has to have in it.othello posses great amount of strength and a great quality that has to be in hero of Shakesprean plays .in the play we see that Othello is loved by allmost everyone around him including brabantio the father of Desdemona,Cassiopeia and allmost all the senators.once Duke said
"Othello is more fair than black"
Though he was loved by everyone there was a man who had hidden hate for him and that man was the villain of the play Othello Iago himself.we can also said that he trusted Iago so blindly that he can easily be taken to be unaware of the ways of the world.iago used this nature of Othello against him only.iago knew that Desdemona is only person whom Othello loves the most and Iago  planned against him and ruined him and his love cold blooded.
When we see Othello stabbing  Desdemona we feel pity according to the characteristics of tragic play.there are two things  which added more into the jealousy of Othello.  the first is Desdemona's advocacy of cassio and second thing Desdemona's false story about the lost handkerchief which increased the temperament of Othello's anger .
The other quality of the tragic play is it should arroused catharsis in the mind of the readers.  there are many incidents when we feel  pity and fear.desdemonas lie about handkerchief.she speak lie because she didn't want to make Othello disappointed. There is also onther incident when we feel pity and fear when Othello was killing Desdemona cold heartedly. We feel fear and our pity is with Desdemona because inspite of doing nothing wrong Desdemona had to meet her tragic death
When Othello was killing Desdemona we feel pity for Othello because he didn't know what was  the he doing that only by knowing the tales of Iago and was unaware of Desdemona's chestity and her loyalty.and we also know that when Othello will come to know the reality of Desdemona's loyalty he surely will recreate .
Thus the play Othello has all the characteristics that has to be there in the tragic play .
