We hope you’ve enjoyed Othello. UP NEXT: Julia Caesar

Transcription
• not believing what you see – Othello looking at Desdemona sleeping and forcing himself to think her a whore
• Iago’s refusal to speak in his own defense
• Othello’s weird last speech – the circumcised dog – telling of what he did to the enemy of the Venetian state and then doing it to himself, ie. he is the enemy of the Venetian state!
• Desdemona’s death is so problematic – how does someone speak after they are “dead?”
• pay attention to the word SLAVE and who it is used for
