OTHELLO..Year12..SEPT 18..

The first couple of sessions have involved reading the opening Act of the play. Students need to be aware of the key moments in Act One Scene One/Two/Three and consider how Shakespeare represents:

• VENICE
• IAGO
• OTHELLO
• DESDEMONA

Students need to consider how Shakespeare is shaping the drama. Students need to be aware of the significance of Iago's soliloquy that concludes the First Act. Why is this use of dramatic form so significant?

Here are some resources for your delight....
What is Tragedy?..Here is an excellent and essential resource from the National Theatre.
