The video, "Insider's Guide: Language in Othello" was created to explore the depth and use of semantics in Shakespeare's "Othello." In "Othello" language is used as a tool of power to create, hide, expose, develop, and even pursue evil. Language is also use to shape individual character traits, not only through specific terms, but also through frequency as we see in the use of "honesty" associate with Iago. Shakespeare also used language as conversation to connect the audience to the characters through the use of soliloquy; allowing the audience access to the character's inner most thoughts. It is clear that Shakespeare used the language in "Othello" to drive the plot of the play, creating and even destroying characters.
