Week 16:Othello
As we conclude Shakespeare's great tragedy it is important to note the lack of genuine communication between the victims and their oppressors. Iago continues to weave his web, while Othello's noble character morally disintegrates. In Act 4, Shakespeare illustrates this through Othello's language, once noble and lofty, and his psychological and physical abuse towards Desdemona. As readers our hatred toward Iago intensifies; he is the devil.
Let us work hard this week by studying and analyzing the play's tragic movements...I am proud of you!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Festivus (I need my Seinfeld analogy), and Happy New Year to you and your family!
