‘Letter and affection’: In the opening lines of the play, said that the “three great ones of the city” had canvassed on his behalf for a promotion to Lieutenant. What went wrong? If Othello’s ‘ancient’ is a man of ‘honesty and trust’ why didn’t Iago get the job? Improvise the exchanges between the three Venetians and Othello. What reasons does Othello give for preferring Cassio? (Look closely at Act I, Scene I, lines 8-39)
Choose a quote, and in groups of six, improvise a scene which incorporates each person’s line (you can create a story that has nothing to do with Othello as long as you use the lines so that their meanings are correct) (Make sure that you first identify where the lines come from in the Act. )
“My life upon her faith”
“She has deceived her father and may thee”
“I am not what I am”
“I must show out a flag and sign of love”
“trust not your daughter’s minds/by what you see them act”
“I do not perceive here a divided loyalty”
