Use basic essay format (introduction with thesis statement, body paragraphs with topic sentences and integration of secondary sources, and a conclusion). Essays should be 5 pages long and include at least three secondary sources. SUPPORT FROM THE TEXT: In your body paragraphs, you must include at least ONE QUOTE from the text and ONE QUOTE from a secondary source that illustrates the point you are making in that paragraph. After each quote, you should explain how it supports the point you are making. A paragraph should never end with a quote. Failure to include the quotes from the text will result in a maximum of half credit for the assignment (50 points out of 100). The rubric is on the back of this paper. Please turn in the rubric with your final draft.

What are those circumstances and are they also his motives? Is Iago amoral or immoral? Who is the main character of the play? Is it Iagos play but Othellos tragedy? Why are all these characters so gullible and so easily manipulated by Iago? Is it his power of persuasion or a fault in the characters persona? Iago is a clear example of the idea that the difference between reputation and honor is the difference between appearance and reality. He has a good reputation but no true honor. Analyze three examples of how Iago tries to appear one way when in reality he is hiding the truth. Ultimately, what does this say about his honor? How does this contrast to someone like Cassio? You and I know that Desdemona was innocent- she was framed by Iago. Who is responsible for Desdemonas death? Iago for framing her? Othello for committing the murder? Desdemona for not putting up more of a fight? Cassio? Which character in the play should be held accountable for her death and why not the others?
