AQA A Level English Mock

I did my English literature tragedy paper mock yesterday. The question for section B was 'Explore the significance of Othello's background and otherness to the play as a tragedy.' I argued that Othello's otherness, his race, is partly significant, but less significant compared with gender and male homosocial bonds. Now I'm worried that I should have focused more on Othello's otherness and background! Does anyone know if this would have been okay to write about?
