How many people die in Shakespeare's Othello?

Answer 1

I have an uneditted copy of the orginal works of Shakespeare and Cassio does not die.Only five people die; Desdemona, Emilia, Roderigo, Desdemona's father and Othello. A number of soldiers also die but they are not a part of the main theme.

Iago goes to jail but does not die in the play; Cassio gains Othello's position and the third female's character (whose name I cannot remember at the moment) fades but she does not die.

Answer 2

I'm with Ambr. Cassio is wounded, but survives and Iago is wounded but survives. As far as the plot goes 5+ people die (Brabantio, Roderigo, Desdemona, Emilia, Othello, various and assundry military people involved in the Turkish wars and the ensuing sea storm). As far as the dramatic action goes, people 4 die ONSTAGE (Brabantio's death and the war & storm deaths are only reported).

Answer 3

January a million, 1616 – James I of england, theater-going and literary absolutist king, attends the masque The Golden Age Restored, a satire by potential of Ben Jonson on fallen courtroom famous Somerset. The king asks for a repeat overall performance on January 6. July 29, 1616 -- Tang Xianzu, chinese language playwright and poet dies October 11, 1616 – Andreas Gryphius, German author is born Unknown Date, 1616 -- Johann Klaj, German poet is born those activities ought to no longer be great-significant, yet they are all theater-appropriate or writing-appropriate.
