Do Now: Which one of the steps in Iago's plan to ruin Othello's marriage seems the most evil to you?
Why?
Classwork: It's Movie Day!

We will watch the six steps in action:
1. "I like not that!"
 The more Desdemona speaks for Cassio the more annoyed Othello becomes.
2. Be ware of the green-eyed monster.
3. Desdemona will regret her choice: the race card.
4. The handkercheif - part 1.
5. The dream episode
6. The handkerchief revisited.
Watch carefully for Othello's reactions.
Which rendition is more believable? Which does a better job with indirect characterization?
Homework: Review your notes and finish reading Act 3 to see the end result of Iago's plan.
