  3. Imagine: you are the screenwriter • Two men are talking. One, whom we will call the lover, has a girlfriend. The other whom we will call the friend, tries to plant seeds of doubt in the lover about the girlfriend's loyalty. • In your journals, write some of the dialogue for this conversation. How might he plant doubt? How might the lover respond?

  4. Warm up part 2 • Two men are talking. This time the friend tries to convince the lover that his girlfriend has eyes for a particular man. • Again write some of the dialogue

  5. The Love Triangle Othello (the lover) Iago (the “friend”) Desdemona (the girlfriend)

  6. In Othello • The lover is black and the girlfriend is white • There is a significant difference in the social background between the two

  10. Actor’s Circle 1. We will read one line of text at a time, regardless of where the sentences end --As we read, underline words and phrases you don’t understand.

  11. Actor’s Circle continued • 2. Now we will read full sentences. Read until you come to a full stop (period, exclamation mark, etc.) • In your journals write: • What’s happening in this scene? Who are these people?

  12. Actor’s Circle continued 3. Now read by parts, but still going around the circle. Read until your section of dialogue is done.

  13. Response Questions #1 • 1. What is going on in these scenes? Who are these people and what are they doing? • 2.Who are Roderigo and Iago? What kind of people are they? Who’s in control? What has just happened? What about Brabantio’s daughter—how do you picture her? Why is it that neither Othello or Desdemona is mentioned by name in this scene? • What sort of language does Iago use to tell Brabantio of his daughter’s elopement? On what sort of fears and prejudices is Iago playing?

  14. Voices for the characters • What are the differences between the readings? How do these differences affect your impression of the character

  15. Homework • Read all of Act 1 scene 1 and answer the following questions • Why do Iago, Roderigo, and Brabantio hate the man they are discussing? • What reasons does Iago give for continuing to follow his master? • What kind of person do you expect the man they discuss to be?
