Othello A Level lesson on Desdemona, Othello and Brabantio and the use of language in Act 1 Scenes 2 and 3 and how the new characters are portrayed to the audience. We explore how Othello is able to use his language to persuade the senators that he won Desdemona with his actions, not witchcraft.

We focus on Shakespeare’s use of language and how he introduces new characters to the play. Includes differentiated activities, worksheets, extensive teacher and student notes and more.

Includes activities to encourage and develop A-level student discussion and debate around differing interpretations in these scenes, as well as bringing to the fore contextual links to support a Historicism/Historicist exploration of the play.
