| dc.description.abstract | This article argues that Othello dramatizes the struggle between two characters to control the
interpretive possibilities of their world. These two characters are Othello and Iago. They
both try to bring the inherent polysemy of the play under their control. This enables them
to control the destiny of the other characters and their actions. The play cannot have two
dominant interpreters. This is why the general and his ancient can only vie for supremacy.
Each of them is ready to destroy anyone — including himself — to win over the other. To
explain their strategies, I will make use of certain terms invented by the Italian semiotician
Umberto Eco. Eco’s semiotic categories will help us highlight the way in which Iago and
Othello direct the processes whereby the different elements of drama are imbued with
signification. | pl_PL |
