Anyway, here's what I'm looking for: pick a character in particular to blog about and write their name along with your initials up on the board. Only two people maximum per character please! Look for two quotes from your character (at least one in Act 3) that you think you can explain the importance of and translate. Make sure to put each quote in "quote marks" and include page numbers!
In your TWO paragraph-long explanations, try to make at least one connection to a theme in the play. The main themes so far are JEALOUSY (which we have talked about) and DECEIT (which means the act of deceiving, tricking, or manipulating). Every major character in this play suffers from both themes, so no excuses!
If you find yourself absolutely stuck, you can ask Ms. Schriver for the modernized version of Othello, but please do not hog it. Also, if you're stuck on what to write about, consider the following questions:
- Why does this quote stand out to you as a reader/listener?
- What does this quote tell us about the character's personality?
- How might this quote help you predict something that the character will do later in the play?
LASTLY! Do not forget to put your initials in the 'Labels' box of your post before you press 'Publish'!
