About Iago’s duplicity: he curses early in the play using the name of Janus, the two faced Roman god of doors. This links him to the theme of deception and implies his own two-faced nature
the animalistic imagery in the Black Ram...White ewe statement also brings Desdemona down to the same level as if tainted by being with him, probably because of the colour imagery and connotations related to the colour black as something dark; as you rightfully said would have had religious connections to the devil, also example of dramatic irony as Iago, the one who says it, has the closest demeanour to the devil.
The cross cultural adaptation of Othello in Indian cinema is way fascinating. Having read the play (its usually off the routine Theatrical list) and seen the adaptation, I had a very different idea but your overview brings many different angles to the fore. Thanks
I just got done with my A level exam on Othello last Thursday and I'm just watching this because I thoroughly enjoyed studying it towards the end. You wrapped things up and explained a lot of things so concisely! Enjoyed this thoroughly. I wish I could write in the way you speak here.
someone decided to put Othello on the GCSE speck so im studying it and this is really helping me with my revision for my mocks and actual exams this year. thank youuuu
Thank you, this was extremely helpful and has covered so much. Plus you are a pleasure to listen to - please keep making videos as they are great and you deserve more viewers!
It's also important to remember about Emilia's and Iago's relationship - you can read a lot into how she speaks about men in Act 4 Scene 3! I feel she steals the napkin/handkerchief as to try and please a husband whom most likely beats and abuses her. Both Desdemona and Emilia fall victim to their husbands behaviour. Another social statement about the times.
This was great! Your diction and pacing made it so easy to understand and was a perfect recap for my eam tomorrow, tysm!! Suggestion: maybe use images in future videos for more visual learners/to reinforce what you're saying? Looking forward to more content
thanks this was soo helpful! Got my final y13 exam in a couple of weeks on Othello and streetcar drama! more analysis videos please? maybe focusing a whole video on one aspect e.g the handkerchief ? :))
This is SO helpful. I have my A Level exam on this and Wuthering Heights in a couple of weeks and there were points that I'd never even considered before. Thank you!!!
Yep! It went pretty well. Loved the Iago and Emilia question! How did you find Sociology? I didn't think it was too bad considering it's Sociology. Which texts are you studying for the Friday English exam?
Kept it short, used examples and analysed some important symbols and events. Exactly what I needed for my english test tomorrow! Saved my grade, lady! *kisses her hand and Iago comments how sexual it was :P *
Never seen a literary analyst as insightful or thorough as you are.. Keep up the good work! Can I maybe request Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller? It's the modern play for A level Literature this year, would love to hear your take on it. =D
+Daniel Hartridge thank you, just using teachers notes and York notes etc! I could well make one on Death of a Salesman as I have studied that one as well! :)
You look like you could actually play the role of Desdemona (not because you are naive) because of your tone of voice, beauty and angel like features. Othello is the best.
🗡️🍓Hi guys, I just posted a video to teach you how to analyse quotes: ruclips.net/video/NQgqXizYGXo/видео.htmlsi=U43blPG8KE8JYDtY Take a look if you need a hand
Thank you!! Exam tomorrow for A2 and I want to make these videos as there aren’t enough teaching videos out there. Reading just doesn’t go in I have to listen :(
7 years later and still the most useful Othello analysis
i literally need this for tomorrow's english exam
About Iago’s duplicity: he curses early in the play using the name of Janus, the two faced Roman god of doors. This links him to the theme of deception and implies his own two-faced nature
@Rylan Saint be quiet ryan
clear and concise ...you would be a great teacher as your communication skills are excellent.
I thought the same thing
the animalistic imagery in the Black Ram...White ewe statement also brings Desdemona down to the same level as if tainted by being with him, probably because of the colour imagery and connotations related to the colour black as something dark; as you rightfully said would have had religious connections to the devil, also example of dramatic irony as Iago, the one who says it, has the closest demeanour to the devil.
you're such an intelligent bean
AMY OMF I LOVE YOU
emilia I LOVE YOU TOO 💜
Thank you so much, this was really helpful to remind me of the basic plot line and key info for my exam tomorrow in a clear and concise way!!
this video is excellent and so clear, i incorporated some of your ideas into my a level essay and got an A!
This helped me so so much! I have an exam tomorrow and this was so concise and clear in understanding
The cross cultural adaptation of Othello in Indian cinema is way fascinating. Having read the play (its usually off the routine Theatrical list) and seen the adaptation, I had a very different idea but your overview brings many different angles to the fore. Thanks
That does sound v interesting! All about perspective :)
thank you queen for the simple summary.... my exam is on Saturday and this video helped me a lot!
Emilia dear, you know what? Your eyes don't let me focus on what you are saying. Touchwood!
I just got done with my A level exam on Othello last Thursday and I'm just watching this because I thoroughly enjoyed studying it towards the end. You wrapped things up and explained a lot of things so concisely! Enjoyed this thoroughly. I wish I could write in the way you speak here.
Thank you, but it's all my teachers!
