 Salty - Iago leverages on that fact and uses it against Othello. He first plots by driving other characters (ie. Brabantio and Roderigo) against someone made out to be a "Malignant Turk". However, juxtaposing the "black ram" with "another of his fathom they have none/to lead their business" brings out Othello as both majestic in state and in person, rather than what he is made out to be by Iago. There are those who are smart enough to see Othello for who he is rather than for his color, such as the Duke, who tells Brabantio that his son-in-law is "far more fair than black".

Ashley- Being referred to as the "moor" shows how people do not consider Othello to be on the same level of respect or status as they are. Although he is the General of the Venetian Army and maintains a high level of status being a general, others still regard him as of a lower less sophisticated class. The term of being referred to as a moor constantly probably offends Othello but he maintains a certain stance and emotion so it does not show or affect his work, responsibilities and purpose as general.

Chantelle- I agree with ashley i believe its really just to show that they don't truly consider Othello on the same level. That though he is the general he is still has a dark complexion. Also take into account that this play was written before equality between whites and colored where even thought about.

Karen- I agree with Ashley’s statement that in referring to Othello as the Moor it is simply just to single him out and not consider him to be of the same social status. Even though Othello is the general of the army, his complexion and the physical is what people identify him by. It isn’t completely known if being referred to as the Moor, bothers Othello. Othello is a man that tries to find the good nature of man and is respectful.

Mabelly-I agree with what everyone is saying. Othello's race is what separates him from everyone else. Some use it positively, like the Duke, and some use it negatively like Iago. I think that the time period's issues have a lot to do with the context that the phrase "The Moor" has. The Moors were persecuted in Spain and were kicked out of the country. This negative connotation spread around Europe, and is why I think that Brabantio accused Othello of using black magic. Despite all of this, Iago still sees himself as an equal, and doesn't let his race be a detriment to his success.
