Objective: SWBAT
analyze Iago’s misogynistic views on women. SWBAT analyze Iago's second soliloquy.
Do-Now: What are Iago's motivations (both internal and external) for wanting to ruin Othello's life? Explain. How does Iago plan on using Cassio and Desdemona? Explain.
Today: 1) Individually, read pp. 61-69. What is occurring during the first part of this scene? To read Act 2, Scene 1 on "Othello" online CLICK HERE
2) What is a misogynist? Class will read pp. 71-79 examining Iago's misogynistic views on women. Is there any truth to what he says? Examine Iago's ASIDE on the bottom of pg. 75.
3) In pairs, read pp. 79-85. Focus on Iago's monologue to Roderigo and Iago's soliloquy at the end of the scene.
4) Turning the Tables: 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 and Desdemona have a chance to defend themselves from Iago by criticizing men the
way Iago criticized women. Your scene should be at least TWO pages long and should include only the four characters involved in the original scene: Iago, Cassio, Desdemona, and Emilia. Your scene should be written in play format (as always) and is worth 20 points: 10 for length, 5 for creativity, 5 for content.
Exit Slip: What does Iago reveal to the audience in his soliloquy at the end of Act 2, scene 1? EXPLAIN.
