Shakespeare

Today:

In an Othello State of Mind:  We broke into groups of two and looked for textual evidence of the following:
Othello is rational
Othello begins to doubt
Othello is a jealous monster
Iago's rhetorical devices used to manipulate Othello
Othello's psychological weakness

We had a good open discussion on jealousy and how and can consume us.  Many of you shared stories of jealousy.  We looked at the power it can have.

We looked at the significance of the handkerchief

We started act IV

HW:  Please read act 4 for Thursday.  Expect a quiz.  I am after-school today for those needed extra help or make-up work.  Reminder- grades close this Friday.
