‘honest’ insinuations.
In pairs, take responsibility for one of the sections:
What do you find interesting in what he says, how he might say it, and how it relates to what has gone before (in terms of content,
attitude
and language/imagery)?Slide7

Othello’s nature is all of one piece. His trust, where he trusts is absolute. Hesitation is almost impossible to him. He is extremely self reliant, and decides and acts instantaneously. If stirred to indignation…he answers with one lightning stroke. Love, if he loves, must be to him the heaven where either he must live or bear no life. If such a passion as jealousy seizes him, it will swell into an incontrollable flood.
A.C. Bradley
Othello’s tragedy is that he lives according to a set of stories through which he interprets the world – an ideology – but it is a world that has been superseded. He cannot see that this is so, and the contradictions within his ideology destroy him. He is living the life of a chivalric warrior in a world run by money and self-interest.
Sean
McEvoy
He really is, beyond any question, the nobly massive man of action, the captain of men, he sees himself as being…in short, a habit of self-approving, self-dramatisation is an essential element in Othello’s make-up. F.R.
