I have to do a critical analysis of the final scene of Othello.

Does anyone know where i could find some notes/summaries/explanations of Othello.

Thanks

I actually need some information about Dramatic Qualities and Language Features of the Final scene of the play.

What would be your definition of Dramatic qualities?

Dramatic features

I've done Othello for module A and although we did not study dramatic qualities, my best guess would be more the acting and the type of dialogue. You would look at stage direction, character introductions and it can never hurt to discuss tehcniques; alliteration, repetition, emotive language etc. I don't know if this helps but I hope it does.

are u doing the final scene solely from the perspective of the play, or from film versions too?

Did you watch the film? Parker Version or O?

There's a good essay on BOS resources where some guy analyses Othello through the Aristotelian dramatic thingy.

Yes, I do realise that was a very poor sentence.

they also used black and white chess pieces king and queen respectivley to represent the 'black' othello, with 'white' desdemona (parker version)
