Othello Act III, Scene III By: Bryson G., Kevin J., Edward M., Ashley Y.

Plot Cassio seeks help from Desdemona ⇒ First step to Iago’s plan Cassio leaves in a hurry, allowing Iago to initiate his plan Iago leads Othello into thinking Desdemona is cheating with Cassio Desdemona drops the handkerchief ⇒ Emilia gives it to Iago Othello decides to kill both Cassio and Desdemona after Iago tries to convince him to only kill Cassio.

Theme Deception by the ones closest to you There is a need for balance Iago tricks Othello into believing that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio Uses trust in military setting to his advantages There is a need for balance “But I do love thee; and when I love thee not, Chaos is come again.” (3.3.91-92) Jealousy Powerful emotion; has the ability to control one’s behaviour

Characters Othello Desdemona Deeply in love with Desdemona but does not know her well enough Blindly believes Iago’s words without confirmation ⇒ Acts upon emotions Suspicious of Desdemona Jealous and paranoid (3.3.242) Desdemona Not getting the hint ⇒ stubborn and no “people smart” Too honest and caring for her own good

Characters (Cont.) Iago Emilia Cassio Hypocritical ⇒ Men are supposed to be honest and not two faced (3.3.127) Manipulative ⇒ Use rhetorical appeals, i.e. pathos and intimation Uses situations to his advantage (e.g. Emilia stealing the handkerchief) Deceiving ⇒ Presents himself as a man whom he is not Emilia Betrays Desdemona ⇒ Desperate for Iago’s love Loyal ⇒ Does not know why her husband wants the handkerchief, yet she still steals it for him Cassio Cares about reputation and desperately wants to return to his position Trusts Iago due to military setting

Setting Allusion with Greek mythology “Chaos is come again” (3.3.92) Women are believed to be deceiving and untrustworthy “She did deceive her father, marrying you” (3.3.208) Men ought to be honest, like an open book “Men should be what they seem; Or those that be not, would they might seem none” (3.3.128) Military Loyalty and trust between soldiers ⇒ Othello trusts Iago’s words

Mood Bitter Dark/Morbid Othello begins to have mixed emotions with Desdemona (3.3.55) Doubts her Uncertain of what she does when he is not around Dark/Morbid Iago's use of manipulation foreshadows what is yet to come upon Desdemona (3.3.360)

Timeline Turning point in the play as Iago has the upper hand Iago plants seeds of doubt into Othello’s head Othello’s superiority transforms into inferiority Build up to the final scene

Dramatic Technique: Dramatic Irony Audiences are well aware of... Cassio meeting up with Desdemona in attempt to regain his position Desdemona is not having an affair with Cassio Iago is manipulating Othello’s mind to get rid of Othello Emilia steals the handkerchief for Iago Othello is going to kill both Cassio and Desdemona

Symbolism Handkerchief (Love) Green eyed monster (Jealousy) The object that Othello had given to Desdemona as a gift Handkerchief lost = love and trust lost Handkerchief in Iago’s possession = love is corrupted Green eyed monster (Jealousy) Warning from Iago to Othello Applies to Iago himself as he is the villain motivated by jealousy

Rhetorical Devices Allusion: “But I do love thee; and when I love thee not, Chaos is come again.” (3.3.91-92) Foreshadowing Setting Othello’s blindness in love Shows dramatic change from one extreme of love to the other extreme of hatred

Rhetorical Devices (Cont.) Metaphor: “It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.” (3.3.168-169) intimation Iago is the one who Othello needs to be careful of Repetition: “Honest, my lord? [...] Think, my lord?” (3.3.103-107) One of Iago’s technique to frustrate Othello the unknown or glimpse of unknown causes imagination and curiosity in Othello

Discussion Do you think Othello cares more about his relationship with Desdemona or his reputation? (Refer to 3.3.339-344) Does Othello’s reaction to the situation reflect how he deeply believes in Iago’s loyalty or his lack of trust and knowledge on Desdemona? Emilia steals Desdemona’s handkerchief for Iago. Is her action forgivable? How would the play progress if she hadn’t given Iago the handkerchief?
