Iago. A closer look.


Click the image to access some key critical thoughts about Iago. 


  • Read through all of the ideas as a class. Ensure we understand what each critic is saying about Iago.
  • You will be split into 4 groups. You will each be given one of the critical quotations to work with
  • Imagine the quotation is the starting point for a whole-text question about Iago, and you are going to have to respond 'to what extent do you agree with this view?'. In your group: create the outline of an argument in response to the critical quotation. Your argument must:
    • Have a clear angle/viewpoint
    • Track through the play chronologically, explaining which quotations you would use to support your groups' argument (make sure you track right through to the end of the play)
    • Address the possible counter-argument (BRIEFLY)
    • Conclude.
Type up the outline of your response either using Word of PowerPoint, then upload it to your blog using Scribd (for Word doc) or Slideshare (for ppt).
