Full Payhip description
UNDERSTAND • ANALYSE • REVISE • SUCCEED
“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster...”
A celebrated military commander.
A secret marriage.
A trusted subordinate determined to destroy him.
And a handkerchief that appears to prove something that never happened.
Shakespeare’s Othello is a devastating tragedy of love, jealousy, race, trust, manipulation and murder.
Coleman’s Notes: Othello takes students through the entire play scene by scene, showing not merely what happens but how Shakespeare makes the tragedy work.
Follow Iago as he destroys Cassio’s reputation, exploits Desdemona’s generosity, obtains the handkerchief and gradually convinces Othello that suspicion is certainty.
