Othello 1995 Act IV

ACT IV


scenes i-iii

The breaks between scenes go so fast here, that they are neatly sown together. Iago's black magic of jealousy is on full swing and is let loose with very little of his persuasion. Othello does not even question Iago's judgement anymore. Roderigo, however, when finally he realized that Iago has wronged him the whole time, Iago tricks him again with false hopes of Desdemona.

A questions for you guys to answer:

If you were jealous, would you be so angry as to kill someone? What if it was your wife or husband?

Do you think Desdemona should have stood up for herself more?



Awesome Iago symbolism scene:

After convincing Othello that he truly has been wronged, he places the same two chess pieces of the black king and the white queen on the side of a well, them swipes them off into the water, showing that he's finished with them and they're beyond any hope of escaping their fates.
