Today we reviewed Act 1, Scenes 1 and 2 and we had a 10 mark quiz. It's imperative that you attend these next 12 days. You cannot make up these quizzes.
Tonight finish reading Act 3 from page 25 to the end and make notes on the following.
Include quotes to support your opinions and cite properly. (Act, Scene, Line) (1.1.25).
1. Explain how Othello and Desdemona fall in love. Look for any sign of weakness. Predict their vulnerabilities. Do you think they are well matched?
2. How does Brabantio react? Find the curse he puts on Desdemona.
3. Record how Roderigo responds to the news of Desdemona's marriage and how Iago talks him out of suicide.
4. Read Iago's soliloquy on page 31. Examine what it reveals about his character.
Be prepared for a quiz on these questions. You may use your notes but not your text.
Keep looking for the three motifs:
blindness
animal imagery
betrayal
