Monday 26th classwork & homework

Classwork: to watch Oliver Parker's version of Othello. (a register will be taken)

Homework: to write a review (minimum A4 page long) of as much of the film as you're able to see in a single period. (There's a review of the film on the blog you may find handy to generate ideas). Due Thursday 29th.

Consider in your review:


  • Whether the play belongs to the character Iago or Othello (there's an article on this subject on the blog)

  • Laurence Fishburne's interpretation of the role compared to Laurence Olivier's (clips of Olivier as Othello are available to watch on youtube)

You could also take a look at Orson Welles' version of Othello (clips are again in youtube) and compare his heavily visual film to Parker's.
