Reggio Emilia approach

behavior is due to jealousy, despite Desdemona protesting against it. Emilia's major external conflicts are with Othello Iago. Othello kills Desdemona on the grounds of infidelity.

The tragedy of Othello was highly influenced by Iago’s manipulation of perception. This was illustrated, when Iago exploited Rodrigo’s unrealistic and self-serving love for Desdemona. Also, including when Iago willfully misled Cassio’s judgement by utilizing his fixation with class. And notably demonstrated, with Iago as he precisely disoriented Othello’s reassurance in his wife, Desdemona’s faithfulness. Othello was fused to the idea of an uncertain reality that was deliberately deceived by…

believes that because he’s honest and honorable, that everyone else is the same way. Even Iago knows this about Othello, and uses it against him: “The Moor is of a free and open nature/That thinks men honest that but seem to be so, / And will as tenderly be led by th’nose” (1.3.389-391). This trust and faith in his peers is broken by the end of the play, not only because of the accusations against Desdemona, but also Iago’s constant questioning of Othello’s trust in her. Iago breaks Othello’s…

On Friday 24th October 2014, I went to see Frantic Assembly’s version of William Shakespeare’s ‘Othello’, directed by Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett.

to uncover Iago’s plan. Shakespeare shows that even though Iago made a good plan, he cannot overcome his own over-confidence. Once again Iago shows his over confidence when he commands Emilia “What, are you mad? I charge you get you home.”(V,ii,192). Throughout his magnificent plan, he forgot one big weakness, Emilia, since she is the only one to know how Iago was able to manipulate Othello. Shakespeare represents the human trait of over-confidence in Iago as all humans are sometime too…

What do you think of when you hear the word jealousy? Most people when they hear the word jealousy they think of something destructive. Both Terri Guillemets and Shakespeare view jealousy as a terrible thing that tears people apart. Current events like high school and Hollywood actors show hove bad jealousy is for society today. Othello, by William Shakespeare, shows this theme perfectly because the character Othello is so driven by jealousy that he ends killing his wife. Both Guillemets and…

Iago’s soliloquies reveal his true motives and foreshadow events within the play, by Iago abusing his honest reputation to deceive the characters. Although Iago is constantly referenced by ‘honest’ or ‘good’ Iago, his soliloquies help correctly define his character in the play. This is shown when Cassio confides in Iago and he advises Cassio to speak to Desdemona, instead of Othello, to regain his position. Iago reveals that “whiles this honest fool/ Plies Desdemona to repair his fortune/ And…
