Start to mentally Place quotes in the classroom/bedroom/exam room. 3. Loci 3. Loci O! beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on. Where can you place this quote? The exit sign it is green (jealousy) and Jealousy causes Othello to leave or Exit his senses.
Othello Othello But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to peck at: I am not what I am an old black ram Is tupping your white ewe. The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief If she be false, O! then heaven mocks itself Your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs O curse of marriage, That we can call these delicate creatures ours, And not their appetites! O! beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on When devils so their blackest sins put on they do so at first with heavenly shows Oh damned Iago. Oh inhuman dog Who would not make her husband a cuckold, to make him a monarch? O! I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial do it not with poison: strangle her in her bed I ll pour this pestilence into his ear I will chop her into messes! Cuckold me! You rise to play and go to bed to work They are all but stomachs and we all but food; they eat us hungry, and when they are full, they belch us I kissed thee ere I killed thee, no way but this, Killing myself, to die upon a kiss And nothing can, or shall, content my soul Till I am evened with him, wife for wife The Moor is of a free and open nature, That thinks men honest that but seem to be so
Is it a good quote? How many areas does it cover? Evidence of Iago s motivations for disliking Othello. Evidence that Othello is respected and of his social standing. Evidence of racism. Evidence showing Othello to be eloquent, calm, reasoned, dignified and self-assured. Evidence of Iago s plotting/scheming, deceit (being two-faced), trying to stir trouble, evilness, growing power. Evidence of the double-meanings, crudeness and sexual innuendoes in Iago s lines. Evidence suggesting Iago to be an honest man who others trust. Evidence of Othello and Desdemona s love. Evidence of jealousy (references to jealousy). Evidence of characters seeking revenge. Evidence of Othello s undoing lines that show his increasing doubt, paranoia, anger, jealousy, irrationality. (this relates to Act 3 onwards) Evidence that relates to the status of women in Elizabethan society (e.g. that they are possessions, that they are to obey men etc...) Evidence of women in the play being outspoken. Evidence of women in the play being obedient, subservient, naive. Evidence of Othello s remorse, realisation of what he has done.
