Othello's Song

 Undeniably, Othello's predicament in "Othello" make for excellent song writing. He experiences peace, feels love, endures betrayal, expresses rage, and finally had deep remorse. There is a plethora of songs that express one or more of these different emotions, but the one I think Othello would most likely sing that most accurately sums up his feelings of betrayal from both Desdemona and Cassio would be "White Blank Page" by Mumford and Sons. Of course, there was no actual affair. But this is a song that I envision Othello singing right before he kills Desdemona, right before he figures out that none of the rumors Iago fed him were actual truths. Here is a link to the full lyrics:

The introductory verse into the song is an expression of what Othello would say to Cassio, a man he loved, trusted, and had even given the honor of the title Lieutenant to. The lyrics repeatedly ask how Cassio could lay next to Desdemona and give her his body in good conscious. The last verse is particularly applicable to Cassio and Othello because it references how Casso shouldn't be able to kneel before a "king" (Othello sort of) and call himself "clean".

Heading into the chorus, the rhetorical questioning turns from grilling Cassio on his choice, but now to Desdemona. He asks her where his fault was in loving her with his whole heart. I think this is an accurate portrayal of something Othello might say, because he really loved her and this love was what made the alleged betrayal so painful.

Later, the lyrics say "Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life". Desdemona tried to show him the truth, and when he finally learned it he literally followed her with his life. As in, he killed himself in out of anguish, joining her in death.

Overall, the song portrays the emotions of Othello before he learns the truth with accuracy and awesome lyrics. Here is a picture of Mumford and Sons:
