The Necessity of Violence

What good comes from this violent end of Othello? Roderigo doesn't get Desdemona, Desdemona and Othello won't live long happy lives together, Emilia was betrayed by her husband, and Iago will definitely not be getting promoted to that position he was hoping for. Although it may seem like it, violence does not always result in a negative outcome; in my sociology class, we discussed how almost all instances of progression are accompanied with violence and war. For example, the Renaissance didn't take place until after Italy was ravaged, while Switzerland remains a neutral country but is known for its cuckoo-coo clock. So perhaps, there could have been more to this story, resulting with a better outcome. Even if there wasn't, there would have been no story to write about with out the violence that ends it.
