  • Michael Cassio is the suave, handsome lieutenant who gets framed by Iago for being Desdemona's lover in the play 'Othello', and is the only main character who survives at the end. He seems like a genuinely decent man who's both loyal and devoted, if not a tad bit naive. But is there more to Cassio than meets the eye? In this video, I offer a deep dive into his characterisation, and look at how Cassio's relationships with Othello, Iago and Bianca shed light on his role in the play.
    TIMESTAMPS:
    1:40 - Point #1: Does Othello actually like Cassio?
    7:08 - Point #2: Does Iago hate... or want Cassio?
    12:00 - Point #3: Is Cassio really that 'good?

    you're an absolute lifesaver ❤ I always felt like I've had a general understanding of Othello, but not enough to be worthy of an A*. Thanks to your videos, I'm confident I can give a thorough analysis in my exams (or at least I hope I will)

    Who is really the weakest out of all characters?

    • @JenChan
      @JenChan  Год назад

      Hm... I don't think it's fair to pinpoint a specific character as being 'weakest' or 'strongest'. They all have flaws and strengths. What do you think though?
