    His tone is rather rash and very demeaning, especially towards his own wife, whom everybody seems to believe is innocent except him and Iago. He calls her a “strumpet” (4.2.81) and a “whore” (4.2.72). She claims ignorance and innocence, but he refuses to believe her. Even when Emilia defends her, Othello is unable to hear any voice of reason. Again, this demonstrates the inferior treatment of the women in the play.…

    Unparalleled in his ability to prey upon the insecurities of those he wishes to ruin, Iago is one of Shakespeare’s most destructive villains. He plants the seeds to destructive plots that are aimed to exploit the fundamental nature of other characters. With his use of garden metaphors throughout the play, Iago exhibits his effectiveness as a villain in being able to nurture and manipulate the tangled roots of human nature Throughout the play, Iago views the other characters through the lens that they are all wild plants, and that he, as a gardener, will bring under his control. Early in the play, while starting his plans to bring about Othello’s downfall, Iago tells Roderigo that, “Our bodies are our gardens, to which the wills are gardeners”…

    The shaping of narratives by a composer’s context and values is not only evident but significant because it determines how a communicated idea could effectively resonate with the composer’s audience. This is because the ideas that composers try to communicate often hold beneficial value to one’s dealings in reality and for these pivotal ideas to successfully resonate, the way composers construct their narratives must be, to the very least, be reflective of the values their said society already holds. The idea that is communicated in my adaptative narrative, which is a reimagined scene of Desdemona’s murder from Shakespeare’s Othello, is that truth is not only moral but an essential obligation. Although this is an idea that any decent individual could accept, to narratively communicate this idea without the appeal to the audience’s context and values, it would be nothing more but a truism to be shoved into everyone’s throats.…

    Fighting Words It is often said that actions speak louder than words, yet this saying is not always true. Many times, the power of influence speaks far more than any war fought whether between countries or within oneself, as influence can be engrained in the minds of others and passed on through generations, where a war is only temporary. The play Othello by William Shakespeare and “the Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” by Ernest Hemingway, both depict women fighting their own war against the influence of society through actions and through words. In Othello, Emilia is merely a servant to her mistress Desdemona, yet still vies for a larger role in society.…

    In the first version being the movie, Cassio had a mischievous and sneaky look on his face, his hair and facial hair was all black and more along the lines of evil-looking. He had a rough facial expression with curly short hair and a long mustache with a short beard. The first expression he gave was a smirk which reminded me of deceivable. Desdemona on the other hand had long black/brown hair with large teeth and a squared face. She looked older and taller than what I had in mind.…

    Arrigo Boito once told Giuseppe Verdi that “an opera is not a play” and that “eight bars are enough to restore a sentiment to life; a rhythm can re-establish a character; music is the most omnipotent of all arts.” It can be argued that Giuseppe Verdi’s Otello may be a greater work of art than Shakespeare ’s play Othello. Otello is so much more than just a translation from Shakespeare’s play. Verdi took Shakespeare’s 3,500 line play and turned it into a masterpiece of operatic literature with fewer than 800.…

While both Sofronia and Iago use lies and deception to feign loyalty to those being plotted against to prevent them from gaining knowledge of their plans, Sofronia successfully does so to save her family’s good name and prevent her husband from sleeping with Clizia, their adoptive daughter.
