Plenary: Sum it up in a sentence: how does Shakespeare use language to present the relationship between Othello and Iago? Ext: can you refer to this critical perspective to support your answer? So close are Iago and Othello that hey start to melt into each other. Not only does Iago take on Othello’s association with blackness, but Othello starts to take on Iago’s characteristic imagery and style of speech. In the early part of the play Iago and Othello speak differently, not only in the obvious sense that Iago uses much more prose than Othello does, but also in the contrast between Iago’s blunt and often coarse style and Othello’s stately and deliberately poetic speech. But in the last two Acts , as the two minds begin to fuse together, as Iago’s words give shape to Othello’s thoughts, so Othello starts to sound more and more like Iago. Othello’s grand verse breaks down into jagged disordered prose. Iago’s prose becomes triumphant verse. Fintan O’Toole, Shakespeare is Hard, But so is Life (1990, 2000) Extended Essay Text 1: Othello
