The Beast With Two Backs
 (Best Offer)
This article highlights Shakespeare’s use of animal imagery in Othello. The phrase “The Beast With Two Backs” is a powerful piece of innuendo first noted in 1532. Shakespeare uses it in this play to engender revulsion in both character and audience as they imagine the love scenes between black Othello and white Desdemona, his wife. The conniving Iago builds upon it to erode trust between the newly-weds and to destroy their delight in each other. The significance of the number of backs specified is explored in terms of Iago´s success in this goal.
