Question

HOW OTHELLO IS PRESENTED IN THE REST OF ART 1 HOW DOES SHAKESPEAR PRESENT A NOBAL RATIONAL CONTROL HERO

Answer 1

Othello is referred to using base and racist imagery in the opening scene of Shakepeare's play. For example, "a black ram is tupping your white ewe" and "thick lips". The sheep metaphor introduces the theme of white contrasted with black and the symbolisation of good and evil through colour. Basically, they are all very suspicious of him, mainly because he is black.

Answer 2

Othello by William Shakespeare

I have found 12+ summaries for you to look at, click the link below. I have included a short extract to give you a taste of what the reviews have.

It is important to note how masterfully Shakespeare develops this opening scene of Othello. It sets the stage for the entire play, revealing the time, place, and Background Information of the plot. It also introduces the traits of the major characters, some in person and some through conversation. It also introduces the Themes of appearance vs. reality, romantic love, and deception. Finally, it foreshadows the action of the play, driven by the hatred and revenge of Iago, which is clearly established in Act I, Scene 1.
