Read through Othello’s soliloquy from Act III (lines 262-283, in sections on your handout).
This is the first chance for the audience to see into his mind and find out what he thinks about Iago’s ‘honest’ insinuations.
In pairs, take responsibility for one of the
sections:• What do you find interesting in what
he says, how he might say it, and how it relates to what has gone before (in
terms of content, attitude and language/imagery)?

Extended Essay Text 1: Othello
Ext: Can you use evidence from throughout the play to
support your ideas?
Othello’s nature is all of one piece. His trust, where he trusts is
absolute. Hesitation is almost impossible to him. He is extremely self reliant, and decides and acts
instantaneously. If stirred to indignation…he answers with one lightning stroke. Love, if he loves, must be to him the heaven where either he must live or bear no life. If such a passion as jealousy seizes
him, it will swell into an incontrollable flood.
A.C. Bradley
Othello’s tragedy is that he lives according to a set of stories through which he interprets the world – an ideology – but it is a world that has
been superseded. He cannot see that this is so, and the contradictions
within his ideology destroy him. He is living the life of a chivalric warrior in a world run by money and self-interest.
Sean McEvoy
He really is, beyond any question, the nobly massive man of action, the
captain of men, he sees himself as being…in short, a habit of self-
approving, self-dramatisation is an essential element in Othello’s make-
up. F.R. Leavis
