The Tragic Vision and Poetic Patters in "Othello"

César Andrés Martínez Pinzón

Abstract

This work is the outcome of a long and steady reflection on a poetic text that is the expression of one of the highest forms of verbal art: tragedy. This study reflects a devotion for poetry and versification and how this element is connected to the tragic vision. This study includes a description of the plot and the verbal material of Shakespeare’s work ‘Othello’. It is the interpretation of the climax taking into account those two levels of an artistic text: Bakhtin’s concepts of Architectural and Compositional forms.
