Episode 63: It’s Guy Love! – Othello, Act 3

Summary

Is Iago in love with Othello? Does he hate that about himself? Wouldn’t that be motivation to destroy first everyone else that Othello loves and then the man himself? Hey, it’s a theory we have… see what you think. In this whopper of a scene, Act 3: Scene 3, the antitheses, the opposites in the themes of the play start to swap places. Watch as Othello’s language changes and he begins adopting Iago’s word choices – bestial imagery for sure. It’s a fascinating study in psychological manipulation.

    Mufi,

    You have to find a way to teach this stuff!!! This is brilliant. It’s VERY plausible in my estimation.

    I’ll listen to it NOW after I contact Cass.
