Written 1603-1604. First published 1622.]]> 2018-05-04 14:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jami_williamson1/FinalExamProject/wish/258054612 Analysis of Main Characters jami_williamson1 https://padlet.com/jami_williamson1/FinalExamProject/wish/258054864 Othello - Othello is the first great black protagonist in Western literature... and he's still one of the most famous.

A black man from North Africa, Othello has traveled the world, been sold into slavery, escaped, and ended up as the military commander of the Venetian military, guard to a powerful Italian city-state. 

Othello's status in Venice is pretty complicated—he's both an insider and an outsider. ]]> 2018-05-04 14:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jami_williamson1/FinalExamProject/wish/258054864 Analysis of Point of View jami_williamson1 https://padlet.com/jami_williamson1/FinalExamProject/wish/258054949 2018-05-04 14:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jami_williamson1/FinalExamProject/wish/258054949 Analysis of Setting jami_williamson1 https://padlet.com/jami_williamson1/FinalExamProject/wish/258054978 The play starts in Venice and moves to Cyprus when the Turks invade. Early modern (c. 1500-1750) Venice is a prosperous Italian city and a symbol of law and civilization. It's also full of white people, which makes Othello, a black Moor, stand out among the Venetians. 

Eventually, action moves to a military encampment in Cyprus, an island sacred to Venus, the goddess of love. At this military camp, Desdemona has lost any kind of support system she may have had in her hometown of Venice, so she's vulnerable to the kind of violence associated with the world of men and military.
