Othello Questions

1. Evidence that is added to the case now is that Iago claims that Cassio has told him he has slept with Desdemona.

2. I feel as if it was way too planned out and perfect timing for Iago. I mean, there are some instances where that could just be a major spot on timing thing but the actuality of something like that happening isn't too great. The handkerchief is very important because it is sort of like a symbol of Othello's love for Desdemona. Othello tells the story of how his father gave it to his mother and it was supposed to be some type of magical handkerchief which is supposed to keep Desdemona in love with Othello which to me just proves how insecure he really is.

3. He feels as if there is no forgiving a "whore" and Iago has pretty much convinced him that all of these accusations are true.

5. Emilia and Desdemona are both very loyal to their husbands and not willing to cheat on them for any reason.

6. The speech where Othello calls Desdemona a cunning whore of Venice who would only marry Othello but in all actuality, she has been extremely faithful to him.

       Part V
1. The events that led to Iago's demise would have to be when all of them are in Desdemona and Othello's room where Desdemona lays dead and they are having a conversation on the handkerchief and Emilia brings up that she was the one who gave Iago the handkerchief in the first place and that is pretty much when they all realize that Iago has been the one behind all of this.

4. I would say that a lot of factors play into Othello wanting to kill Desdemona. Mostly because he feels betrayed and extremely hurt and also seeks revenge but I also feel as if his pride gets in the way.

5. He is saying that he didn't necessarily love in the wisest fashion but he did love her deeply.

6. I feel as if it does because you get to see his noble side which is very calm and collected instead of frantic and in a trance like state and he seems to have recovered from his jealous passions that caused him to kill his wife.
