Journal: Last entry due Thursday
" Over the years Othello has left critics and viewers of the play wondering and debating: does Shakespeare provide Iago with enough human motivation for the malevolent acts he commits? Is it plausible that the intelligent, noble Othello could fall so quickly into Iago's trap, turning from blissful newlyweb to murderer in three days?
Is the play deeply flawed, or is it disturving and challenging because of it 'problems'? Do the play's problems provoke you to think deeply about human nature, or would they be better 'fixed' by a rewrite?
