Welcome Back!

Do Now: How do you define 'VILLAIN'? List at least three characteristics a villain might have.

Classwork: We are focusing on Iago and the characteristics he displays throughout the play that

support the definition of a classic villain.

Antagonist/Protagonist handout:

1. Annotate the text for definitions of villain, foil, adversary, and motivation.

2. Why is Iago the most terrifying villain in Shakespeare's tragedies?

3. Use specific evidence from the play that illuminates the character traits that prove Iago is heinous!

4. Watch the Folger analysis of Iago's villainy.
