Hi! I think you are talking about the end of the stave, the part about Belle? I didn’t make this video as at the time my students were asked to analyse that part 100% independently. If I get time I will add this in, but have to prioritise what my students are working on now. Apologies!

@@mrscoggersliteraturerevisi6436 Yes, it was just before stave 3 and no worries you don't have to, however thank you for informing me. I hope to do well in my GCSEs with your extraordinary annotations.

@@Sxlanki._x I'm sure you will do! Best luck with your studies!

Shakespeare seduces us into becoming complicot in iagos evil we partially guilty bc were aware of his crimes while he's about to commit them and we can see it unfold iago speeks in soliloquy drawing us closer to understanding him even tho he is repulsive he's compelling Shakespeare establishes conflict straight at the start - sets the scene of play Power dynamic between iago and ordering iago has had access to rod money so power dynamic established how has he got this power over him and what type of character is Rod to allow this. Shakespeare doesn't tell us straight away what they're tlaking about - we are intrigued Iagos first word in the play

First word - sblood- is an oath, first word is a curse crude and vulgar aspect of his personality which comes thru in this speech

As progresses iago master of his speech he can control it well he doesn't need to be polite when speaking to Rod so he isn't. Iagos asking Rod to be vulnerable Shakespeare creates ambiguity he talks about iago hating but not who world of gossip and curiosity Iago has strong feelings against othello He says despise me and abhor me- he saying hate me but he's being manipulative he's giving permission to hate him to get his trust

Iago has had 3 people to convince othello to pick iago has influenced people to benefit him and values himself and this is why he's so offended he's bitter bc not chosen. "Own pride" - critices othello but he's a hypocrite List of insults iago gives criticising cassios suitability ' insults his knowledge and a florenntine - marks him out as a outsider bc hes florentine was a fiscally good place

Iago and Rod venetian and clear division between areas in Italy florentine - Centre of commerce and banking so fincial capital so iago marks him out as an outsider bot a military man
