Othello- The final speech

"I pray you in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am, nothing extenuate..." V ii 340

Unlike Iago, Othello was repetent and ashamed of what he did. Othello id worried about his reputation, as many men are. He knew how these actions would be told. Through word of mouth the story would undoubtedly be changed for the worse. He wants to make sure that people know the accurate story. He want to insure that people will know of Iago's dishonesty, and never let this situation repeat itself. In this final speech, he once again regains his composure. He is now calm and rash and instantly gets how Iago planned this all out. He last wish was that Iago never be allowed to do this again. Just like when he killed Desdemona so that she could not hurt any other men. He insured Iago would be known, so that he could not hurt anyone else.
