                  'othello' the protagonist of the tragedy is a tragic figure because he is  man of great  character and some virtues but brings about us his own doom du to a tragic flaw .he is great as a military leader, as a man of stern morality and he even has the gentleness of bchavior and the powers of speech and angerstanding.
