if you were a reporter durung the times of othello

Why don't you take a crack at the topic that has been baffling and dividing theatre critics for the last 400 years: What motivates Iago to destroy the lives of Othello, Desdemona, Cassio, Roderigo, etc.?
One thing is certain: the justifications that Iago offers in support of his revenge (he was passed over for promotion in favor of Cassio, he suspects his wife of having an affair with Othello) don't hold water. Iago's true motivation must lie far, far deeper.
It's a question that can never be ultimately resolved, but it always leads to a provocative discussion.

In the final scene with Desdemona, Othello relives the entire play and his arc as he learns to distrust her. As a reporter you can show the relationship of the beats of the final scene to the previous scenes. It is a wonderful dramatic device that makes us visualize everything Othello has gone through.

Was Othello being truly honest with Desamona when he told his war stories? Othello was a braggart and might have concocted those stories to win over Desamona.
