Students read, discussed, and watched Act 3 Scene 3 of Shakespeare's Othello. This is the most important scene in the play and the focus of the session was how Iago 'poisons' Othello and why this section of the play is so dramatically powerful.
Homework: Read, listen, or watch any decent version of the play.Next week we will be discussing Act 5 and concluding our reading of this wonderful play.
This concluding section of Act 3 Scene 3 involves Anthony Hopkins and Bob Hoskins [1981]:
