Act 4
Blind Revenge
Scene I: Othello and Iago are in front of the castle in Cyprus. This is where they regularly meet to discuss about Desdemona’s extramarital affair with Cassio.
Iago: Sir, do you believe that Desdemona had sex with Cassio.
Othello: (In surprise) what the hell are you talking about?
Iago: That’s true, sir.
Othello: (With anger) are you sure?
Iago: (With Confidence) I am certain sir.
Othello: (Still with anger) how can you be so sure? You better keep in mind one thing that if you are wrong then I will not spare you.
Iago: I am sure because Cassio himself admitted to me that he had sex with Desdemona.
Othello: (Stunned) What? What did you just say?
Iago: Cassio admitted that he had sex with Desdemona.
Othello: (With rage) “Lie with her! Lie on her! We say lie on her, when they belie her.”
Iago: (To himself) “Work on, my medicine work! Thus credulous fools are caught.”
Cassio enters the scene and Othello collapses as if he is in severe pain.
Cassio: (With Curiosity) what happened to sir? Sir, are you ok?
Iago: Sir is sick for couple of days. He needs rest now. I will talk with you later on.
Cassio: Very well then.
Cassio exits the scene.
Iago: Wake up sir, the bastard is gone.
Othello: I still can’t believe that bastard slept with my wife.
Iago: Fine. It seems like you will not believe me until you hear with your own ears. I will make Cassio confess again and you just hear secretly.
Othello: If it’s true then I am definitely going to kill that bastard.
Othello exits the scene as if he is hiding. Cassio re-enters the scene. Iago starts asking him about Bianca, a prostitute who is crazy for him.
Iago: Hey, what’s up man? Sorry, I couldn’t talk to you then.
Cassio: It’s ok man.
Iago: What is all this between that girl (Iago referred to Bianca) and you.
Cassio: Man, don’t tell me. She is so horny.
Iago: Why? What did she do?
Cassio: She is totally crazy over me. “She haunts me in every place. So hangs, and lolls, and weeps upon me; so hales, and pulls me: ha, ha, ha!”
Iago: Are you going to marry her?
Cassio: (With humor) are you serious. You got to be kidding me. Girls like her are good for sleeping with. You know that.
Meanwhile Bianca enters the scene with Desdemona’s handkerchief.
Bianca: “I was a fine fool to take it. This is some minx's token, and I
must take out the work?” Give back this to your lover.
Bianca exits the scene. Confused Cassio also exits the scene after Bianca.
Othello re-enter the scene as if comes out from hiding. He has heard the
entire conversation and now completely trusts Iago’s words that Desdemona
had sex with Cassio.
Othello: (With rage) how should I kill this bastard and that bitch (Referring
Desdemona). Do you have poison? Iago: "Do it not with poison. Strangle her in her bed, even the bed she hath contaminated.”
Othello: (Like a monster) "Good, good! The justice of it pleases. Very good” What should I do with that son of a bitch then?
Iago: Don’t worry; I will take care of Cassio. I will finish him of by midnight.
Othello: Ok, I will trust you with the job. Make sure you kill him like a dog.
Iago: I wouldn’t disappoint you, sir.
Desdemona enters with Lodovico who is her relative.
Lodovico: General Othello, you have been summoned by the Duke. You have to leave Cyprus for Venice by tonight.
Othello: But who is going to care of Cyprus.
Lodovico: Don’t worry. Lieutenant Cassio would be in charge in your absence.
Desdemona: (With happiness) I am so happy for Cassio. He deserves this.
Othello is in rage after seeing Desdemona’s happiness for Cassio’s promotion. He becomes totally mad at her and strikes her.
Othello: (Striking Desdemona) “O devil, devil!”
Desdemona: What did I do wrong?
Othello: Don’t try to pretend.
Desdemona: (Confused) I don’t understand.
Othello: Get out my sight.
Desdemona starts to leave since her presence would make Othello angrier. Lodovico tells Othello to call her back. Othello calls her, but just to humiliate her in front of everybody. Desdemona exits the scene and Othello also exits the scene furiously.
Lodovico: I don’t believe my eyes. Is this the same noble Moor we admire for?
Iago: General Othello has changed a lot. And this is nothing what he did with Desdemona.
Lodovico: “I am sorry that I am deceived in him.”
End of the scene. Curtain falls.
Act IV, Scene II
This scene opens in a room. Both Othello and Emilia enter the room.
Othello: “Is Desdemona cheating on me.”
Emilia: “No she would never do that, she isn’t like that.”
Othello: “Have you ever seen her and Cassio alone… you know… doing anything.”
Emilia: “No I haven’t seen or heard them do anything like that.”
Othello: “Did she ever send you out of the room so they can be alone.”
Emilia: “Nope. Never”
Othello: “That is odd.”
Emilia: “To be honest Othello, Desdemona would never cheat on you. She really loves you.”
Othello: “I don’t believe you.
Emilia: "If any wretch have put this in your head/Let heaven requite it with the serpent's
curse!"
Othello: You are lying to protect that whore. Get out of my sight.”
Emilia leaves the room
Othello thinking to himself: “she is lying for her friend. I should have seen this coming.”
Emilia and Desdemona enter the room.
Othello: “Come here Desdemona, and Emilia can you give us some privacy.”
Emilia leaves the room
Desdemona: “Why are you so mad?”
Othello: “Who are you? I don’t feel like I know you anymore?”
Desdemona: “I am your loyal wife”
Othello: “LIER!!!!! I don’t believe you, you whore”
Desdemona realizes what she is being accused of.
Desdemona: “I would NEVER cheat on you. I love you. You’re my husband.”
Othello: “I don’t believe you”
As Emilia re-enters the room to check on Desdemona, Othello walks out.
Othello to Desdemona: “Don’t tell anyone about our conversation.”
Emilia: “Are you Okay?”
Desdemona: “Emilia, am I awake or asleep because this feels like a bad dream. Can you please go get Iago?”
Emilia: “all right”
Soon Iago enters the room
Desdemona: “Whats going on Iago. What am I gonna do?”
Iago: “Don’t worry there is something on his mind that bothering him and he is taking it out on you. Everything will get better soon”
Desdemona leaves the room and Iago and Rodrigo meets up.
Iago: “we have to do something to get rid of Cassio”
Rodrigo: “hmmm”
Iago: “Can you do it?”
Rodrigo: “I don’t know”
Iago: “look if we can get rid of him them you will be able to stay close to Desdemona and maybe have a chance with her”
Rodrigo: “Do you really think so”
Iago: “I know so. Trust me”
Rodrigo: “All right. I will do it for Desdemona.”
Act IV Scene III
Othello gathers with Desdemona, Emilia and Lodovico in another room.
Othello to Desdemona: I'm gonna catch ya soon, just dismiss Emilia and go to bed.
Desdemona gets ready for bed.
Desdemona: Hey Emilia, can you unpin my gown??
Emilia: Yeah, sure.
Desdemona starts singing a sorrowful song which is regarding a
girl who is forsaken by her lover. She waits for a knock of Othello
on the door.
Desdemona to Emilia: I have a question.
Emilia: Yeah ask.
Desdemona: How any woman could falsely accuse her lover??
Emilia: You can think this way that a woman can cheat their husband due to the
way they treat their wives. It is right though.
Desdemona: Ok!good night Emilia.
The scene ends with Desdemona's characteristic of her excellent nature.
She prays to God that she should be taught by Othello's poor way of treating her, not in a bad way to take revenge or something but just to improve herself.

Objective: Students will apply prior knowledge of Setting and Characterization to the context of Othello
Aim: What images appropriately represent the various settings and characters in Othello?
Do Now: Write in your notebooks...My favorite character is....and state why.
My favorite character is Desdemona. I admire and respect her for being true to her husband and even thought they had a misunderstanding even though Othello was cruel to her she never fought him or disrespected him in anyway. She defended her self in a respectful way. Even though Othello didn't believe her to be innocent she never gave up hope that he would believe her and they would reunite as faithful husband and wife
Cooperative Learning: Start mapping out your Settings (title the images) and Characters and what roles they play. Then start creating your script. First draft of entire script due on Tuesday of next week for my review.
Homework: I need to see your cover page with the title of the play and a second sheet with your cast of characters and the role they each play. This is the manager's homework.

Objective: Students will understand how multiple levels of meaning are conveyed in a text.
Students will apply prior knowledge of the literary device Theme, and Setting to the plot of Shakespeare's Othello
Aim: What are the various themes that we can apply to shakespeare's Othelloand what settings do you think are appropriate to represent the settings in your act?
Do Now: Write a paragraph on what you think is an appropriate theme for Shakespeare's Othello
I think that the theme for Shakespeare's Othello is love and betrayal . Othello thinks that he was betrayed by his true love Desdemona and he doesn't feel that he can trust her anymore. He was betrayed and that really made him angry because he thought that she loved him. This made him want to get revenge at her for what she did. They had no trust in their relationship which is the foundation of all relationship. Honesty and trust without these two factors the whole relationship falls apart.
Mini Lesson: Recall the literary term Theme
A work's theme is its main, controlling idea: its central insight or understanding about life. The theme of a literary work my be implied or stated.
Tips for Stating the Theme of a Literary Work
Express the theme as a complete statement, not a word or phrase.
The theme should be a generalization, but not too broad or specific. Be sure your statement is supported by setting, tone, plot, and symbolism.
Avoid words like always, never, all, or none.
Do not express the theme as a cliché or moral, unless the story is designed to be instructive.
Cooperative Learning:
Select one of the following themes and in another paragraph or two state why your selection best fits this play:
The major themes of Othello are:
Homework: I need to see on TUESDAY: all characters, settings (Venice= Hawaii), New York, New Orleans etc...and of course all works cited. Manager write due on Monday.
