Happy Desdemona and Othello. Taken from Google Images.
I think you can all see where Act V will take our Othello characters - it is a tragedy, after all. Before we begin Act V, I want you to find your happy place and predict the final act of the play as if the ending were joyous and wonderful - just to take the sting out of what is to come. What will happen to Iago? Othello? The lovely Desdemona? What about Emelia? Cassio?
A lot has gone down in Othello! I want you to choose a character with whom you can empathize and write about what's going on in the play from his/her perspective! Some good ones: Desdemona, Othello, Emelia, Iago, or Cassio. Be creative!
After your quiz, you will respond to the following journal prompt:
