Students were confronted with the dramatic significance of ACT THREE SCENE THREE of Shakespeare's OTHELLO. Students were asked to consider how Iago manages to manipulate Othello and how Shakespeare suggests Iago's influence. Reference was made to the detuning of the Othello music and the fact that Shakespeare offers Othello a soliloquy; the soliloquy being a dramatic form previously only afforded to Iago. STUDENTS MUST BE AWARE OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS SCENE.
HOMEWORK: When next our lives collide I expect all students to have familiarised themselves with this play. Students have audio resources and below are links to a series of resources.
Click on link below to access the resources from the last lesson:
Oliver Parker's film version. You Tube segments 7/8/9:
Students should navigate through the final sections of the film from this point. There are 12 segments.
Laurence Olivier's Othello from 1965. There is more ham here than a TOP SHOP bacon sandwich. Absolutely shocking! ..or do you like Larry's version? Click on link below:
Bob Hoskins as Iago and Anthony Hopkins as Othello. Act Three Scene Three:
Hopkins and his Othello seizure:
Othello slaps Desdemona. Hopkins is quite dynamic and cruel here. What do you lot think? Should a white man be considered to play the character of Othello? Act Four:
I mentioned THE CLANGERS today which was a TV programme aimed at children when I was a child many moons back in time...here is a You Tube segment. And you wonder why my generation are a bit odd. This was our normal. Better than Teletubbies? I think so..:
I WILL BE POSTING A MARINER PODCAST NEXT WEEK. KEEP CHECKING THE BLOG. RESOURCES WILL APPEAR ON BE CURIOUS THROUGHOUT THE HALF-TERM.
