 Studying Othello. Here's how you can analyze that choosing to. The scene opens on a street in Cyprus in here we can see the stage directions that Herald has entered and he is a messenger carrying a message for all the Cypriot people. The Herald speaks using Suzuru here to say that he has a message that's been delivered directly from Othello the general. He speaks using these adjectives to show that Othello is well known and admired as a general. He delivers the good news that the Turks who had waged war against Venice in Cyprus and tried to take over Cyprus have now been defeated. He informs everyone that's listening that not only would there be a celebration for the defeat of the Ottoman Empire over Cyprus but also the celebration will celebrate the fact that Othello and Zemono have been newly married. The Herald ends his message using this exclamatory sentence we can see that Othello enjoys a really powerful position both in Cyprus and Venice and everybody sees him as a skilled general who can win wars.
