After that, you'll meet with your group to have a discussion about the results, as well as these other questions from Act III, Scene 4 and Act IV, Scene 1:
- What words/actions from Desdemona add to Othello's changing thoughts about her?
- What sort of person is Emilia, and what seems to be the nature of her relationship with her husband Iago?
- What is the importance of the handkerchief to Othello?
- How does Desdemona's handkerchief come into play within the relationship between Emilia and Iago?
- Why does Othello have powerful physical reactions to Iago's information? What might this mean?
- What happens with Cassio and Bianca?
- What is Othello's original plan for dealing with Desdemona? Why does it change?
- What is the news that arrives from Venice?
- How is Othello changing in act 4? What is the effect of his public humiliation of Desdemona by slapping her?
Be sure to take notes - I'll be using the wheel to call on people for our discussion!
