Objective: SWBAT analyze Iago’s misogynistic views on women and explain whether or not his views are accurate or flawed.
Do-Now: What are some common stereotypes associated with women? Do you believe these stereotypes are true? Explain. How are women often characterized as being different from men?
Today: 1) Introduce soliloquy
2) Class will finish reading Act 1, Scene 3. What does Iago reveal about his plans for Othello in his soliloquy? How does Iago show himself to be two-faced in this scene?
3) Class will read Act 2, Scene 1, focusing on the misogynistic comments Iago makes about women. Are these comments accurate or are they bias?
4) Turning the Mirror Around: Now that Iago has bashed women in the play, it is time for some men-bashing. What stereotypes are associated with men? Write an additional scene for the play in which Emilia has a chance to defend herself from Iago by criticizing men the way Iago criticized women.
Exit Slip: What do you think of Iago at this point in the play? What type of person has he shown himself to be? What do you predict may happen to Iago?
