Act Four - due Wednesday

This act is violent - both emotionally and physically.  Be warned!  Iago says "Work on, my medicine, work on!"  What do you think of jealousy as a drug?

Act 3- due Wednesday

Yes, I am a pink and fluffy person.  Since next week is finals, I am making the Act 3 blog due on Wednesday, instead of Monday.  Act 4 will be on Tuesday after finals.  Enjoy!

Act 2

So - some thoughts. When two people are in love, is it anybody else's business? Why not keep it to yourselves. Keep that precious secret?

Nobody seems aware of Iago's duplicity. Desdemona can easily match wits, as you will see in Act 2 - but notice the change from verse to prose. Why do you think Shakespeare does this?

Discuss the dramatic irony present already:)

Act One

Ok folks, it looks as if most of you have a basic idea of the plot, although there are some misconceptions, which is to be expected. So .... you will be reading Act One. With Leo Africanus in mind, pay attention to the animal references, and discuss their significance.  Post discussion questions as you have in the past for each act (5 per act).  You may post new questions/discussion points, or respond to one someone has posted.  These posts will be worth 10 points, so take time and thought:)
 All who contributed earned 5 points for the introduction.
