    The play that I have done my examination on is a Greek disaster composed by the William Shakespeare, Othello. To give a brief foundation of the play, Othello goes into a story of a Black Male by the name of Othello who was a general in the Venetian Army. He furtively weds the King Brabantio's little girl, Desdemona, who is Caucasian, accordingly making pressures inside the kingdom. Iago who is to some degree a colleague to Othello gets to know him, yet just out of envy from Othello position in the Army. Iago envy drives him to attempt and damage Othello by any methods conceivable and sees fit.…

    This poem was deep, and had a lot of emotion. You could tell that the writer had been really hurt and maybe had even been taken advantage of. She had a dark and weary tone, which meant that this was an emotional piece to write and it had a big impact on her life, or someone else’s life. She had a rhythm that flowed nicely, and for the most part the syllables in each stanza matched every time, (which I particularly like).…

    Treatment of Women in “Othello” and “Trifles” Throughout history the handling of women has evolved. From the Victorian Era to the latter half of the nineteenth century many authors have championed the unfair treatment of women in books, poetry, short stories, and plays; however two authors have penned works worthy of comparison. In “Othello,” a maiden marries for love; however she is ultimately the fatal victim of her love. On the other hand, in the play “Trifles,” the downtrodden Minnie murders her abusive husband. Both Shakespeare’s “Othello” and Glaspell’s “Trifles” present the theme of patriarchal dominance through female characters who exemplify submission, victimization, and veiled strengths.…

    Iago says, “Though I am bound to every act of duty/ I am not bound to that all slaves are free to” ( III.iii.138-139).Iago purposely becomes suspicious so Othello can catch the bait, so he can start manipulating him. Iago uses different strategies against Othello to make him believe what he wants. Iago uses the rhetorical strategies of logos, hesitation, and ethos to manipulate Othello into thinking that Desdemona is unfaithful so he would kill Desdemona and Cassio. Iago uses logos to trick Othello into thinking that Desdemona is cheating on him.…

    A telltale sign of a good story is when one can identify and relate with the characters. Shakespeare is known as one of the absolute best at creating flawed characters that are still worth caring for. It’s difficult to connect with real people and fictional characters alike when they present themselves as flawless, because human beings aren’t perfect and they relate and bond over these imperfections. One of Shakespeare’s greatest yet most troubled characters is Othello; a courageous man, blind to his own detriments,who that has worked for everything he has despite imposing circumstances. Othello is an extremely complex individual whose personality traits coincide remarkably well with those of world-renowned rapper and fashion designer Kanye…

    Casting Othello, The Movie Casting actors for a film version of Shakespeare’s Othello could become a challenging task. Shakespeare’s play complexity and long speeches present a difficult undertaking even for the most talented and skilled individuals in today’s film industry pool of actors. Therefore, we most carefully exam the play’s characters and search for candidates that can be paired, not only to the physical attributes of the character, but more importantly to the complexity in language, speech, and performance required for the part. A group of actors that could possibly perform the parts of Othello, Desdemona, and Iago might be Denzel Washington, Amy Adams, and Russell Crowe respectively.

    In Othello Act 4 Scene 1, Iago further convinces Othello of Desdemona’s supposed unfaithfulness and Othello finally acts on his suspicions, striking Desdemona. This scene marks Othello’s tipping point between trusting and loving Desdemona and fully succumbing to Iago’s manipulation. In prior scenes, Othello is characterized as calm and in control, while in Act 4 Scene 1, he is overcome with emotion, falling into an epileptic fit, and brash. His stark difference in character led to part of my costume choice, a t-shirt with a nametag that has several names on it, to show how Othello is becoming an entirely new person with different values. Although Othello is becoming someone new, he still shows some characteristics which he was introduced having.…

    The concept of a divided self is present in both Machiavelli's The Prince and Shakespeare's Othello. However, in each text, the way an individual experiences his self division is different. The Prince emulates the concept of a divided self through Machiavelli's explanation of how to become a successful ruler. For instance, a prince is constantly faced with threats to his position or nation and he must take the proper steps to not only benefit his nation, but to avoid as much evil as possible in the process. On the other hand, Othello experiences his self-division through his decision of killing Desdemona as an act of justice.…

    But this is a conflict between two men who had up to this time been the nearest and warmest friends, one a great general and the other his most trusted officer. There is plenty of evidence throughout the play that up to this time there had been the fullest confidence between the two, and both alike were looked upon as men of excellent ability and sterling character. Othello was known as a noble Moor and had attained the highest military position, and therefore must have had the fullest confidence of the state and the senate. Every one regarded lago also as an upright and noble-minded man, and he had earned for himself the epithet of "honest." But all at once the "honest" lago becomes the mortal enemy of the "noble" Moor.…

    Othello may be a hero but he gets fooled like a villain. In Othello, Othello is what you would call a "tragic hero. " What I mean by that is he may be seen as something that brings hope and goodness but his challenges and his own jealousy bring him at his fall. One of his many challenges is not something but someone. The one and only manipulative Iago.…

    Marcus Kopp Mr. Vetter AP English Literature October 16, 2015 The setting of Othello is crucial for the reader to better understand when the play is in a state of order or chaos. The play Othello takes place in both Venice, Italy and an island right off of Italy called Cyprus. In Venice, Italy, the play is set to be a city where everything in the play is ordered and when the play is set on the island of Cyprus, it is said that the play is in a chaotic state. William Shakespeare’s 1604 poem “Othello” demonstrates how Shakespeare uses the conventional poetic form to show how the main character, Iago’s villainy and how it enhanced his work.…
