AB  - Identifies the paradox that, although Othello loves Desdemona, on some level he wants to believe in her infidelity. Claims that this belief is provoked by deep-seated fears and anxieties inextricably connected with profound ontological dependence that one forms when one is in love. Maintains that Othello can only do away with this fear and anxiety by embracing jealousy, which liberates him from the unbearable ontological fear of loss of love. English summary, 149.
