The manipulative side of human behavior and the inherent human tendency to manipulate in light of the dark side of love are evident in all three texts. This manifests itself even if the texts are the product of different social contexts. Darkness has connotations of evil and the unknown, and the dark side of love is "above all" the way in which jealousy and obsession take control of a person, which normally leads to disaster. The dark side of love manifests itself to varying degrees in all texts, and in each text someone is condemned, because he is a victim of his own dark side of love: Othello in Othello, The narrator in Rebecca and Ted Hughes in Birthday Letters. Othello is a tragedy of flaws, traditional in the Aristotelian sense because it adheres to the idea that tragedy “shows” through actions, rather than “tells” through narrative.” The classic tragedy Othello tells of the relationship between the Moor of Venice: Othello and his superior wife, Desdemona. Desdemona could be seen as simply a functioning agent in which Othello's fatal flaw, jealousy, is exposed through his intense love for her.

The tone with which this sentence will have been spoken again imitates that of a controlling father. This is somewhat similar to the relationship between Hughes and Plath, depicted in Birthday Letters. Hughes questions Plath's motives for her love for him, which he confesses in the poem "The Shot": "Until your real target lies behind me, your daddy." Hughes seems to confirm that Plath only loves him as he reminds her of her father Otto Plath, where "Daddy" refers to his own poem of the same name, telling the story of the short-lived relationship shared between father and daughter. .Birthday Letters is a collection of complex, self-aware poems that tell the story of Plath and Hughes' relationship, from their explosive first meeting to her eventual suicide. The realistic character of this poetry is
