      @@DrAidan if you had to make 3 points to answer the essay question 'How is jealousy a significant force in Othello.' while im incredibly grateful for your video and it is very informing, im having troubles taking this information and applying it to my specific situation.

      @@ruesxn one option would be to start by thinking about where jealously originates in this story. I would suggest that it begins with Iago. He is jealous of Othello because of his status as a military leader and because he is attractive to Desdemona. He is also jealous because he thinks Othello has slept with his wife. But what Iago is able to do is to then evoke jealousy in others and use it to gain power over them. Firstly he makes Roderigo jealous of Othello for marrying Desdemona. Then he makes Othello jealous of Cassio by playing on Othello’s feelings of inadequacy because he is an outsider, whereas Cassio comes from the ruling elite. I hope that helps.

    Hello, would it be possible for you to make a video on the theme of 'reputation'?
    I find these very effective for my revision - A-Level exams are also approaching, which is why it would be very useful.
    Thank you,
    Nick.

      I'm not sure I'll get chance to write one before the exams, but tell me more about what you are looking for in relation to reputation and I'll see if I can answer in the comments section.

      Shakespeare as a conscious artist who evolves through his plays

    • @DrAidan
      @DrAidan  4 года назад

      That's an interesting question. I think it's definitely true that Shakespeare's style evolves as he ages, and you can see evidence of this in the verse patterns and the images he uses. Books that you could read about this (although quite old books now) include ones on imagery by Caroilne Spurgeon (Shakespeare's Imagery)and by Miriam Joseph (Shakespeare's Use of the Arts of Language). You could also look at George Wright's book on metre (Shakespeare's Metrical Art,) which lays out in great detail how the verse is structured and how it changes over time. Hope that is helpful.
