TOPIC: Introduction to 8th Grade Social Studies TOPIC: Act I scene i Homework Questions

  1. Why, according to what he tells Roderigo, does Iago hate Othello (referred to only as "him")? Support your answer with evidence from the text. Iago hates Othello because when choosing a new lieutenant, Othello passed Iago over for a promotion in favor of Michael Cassio. Iago becomes more frustrated because Cassio has no real world experience while Iago has been in several battles. "And, by faith of man, I know my price, I am worth no worse a place. But he, as loving his own pride and purposes, evades them this a bombastic circumstance..." (I.i 11-14).
  2. Roderigo tells Iago to stop following Othello is he is so dissatisfied with his actions. Why does Iago claim to want to keep working with him? Iago wants to keep working with Othello to gain his trust and eventually stab him in the back to get his revenge. When he is not with Othello, he speaks badly of him (as seen with Roderigo and Brabantio). However, when with him he acts like his friend and even warns him that Barbantio and Roderigo were speaking badly about him. "I follow him to serve my turn upon him."
  3. Who is Brabantio, and why do Iago and Roderigo awaken him in the middle of the night? Why does Iago slip off so quickly once Brabantio comes down? Brabantio is Desdemona's father and a Venetian senator. Iago and Roderigo awaken Brabantio to inform him that his daughter Desdemona has eloped with Othello. This upsets Brabantio. Even though he respects Othello, he is upset that his daughter married a moor and did so without his permission. Iago slips off before Brabantio comes down so noone knows (except Roderigo) that Iago was speaking against Othello.
  4. What is Roderigo's relationship to Brabantio and his daughter, Desdemona (I.i 94-100)? Roderigo is in love with Desdemona and tried to court her several times but is unsuccessful. Brabantio does not approve of him for some reason and is frustated and upset when he identifies himself outside of his window.
  5. What is Brabantio's reaction to Othello's marriage to Desdemona (I.i 167 - 172)? When Brabantio discovers that Othello and Desdemona have eloped, he becomes angry and upset. Not only did Othello not ask for permission to marry Desdemona, but he is a moor, and interracial relationships were looked down upon at that time.
  6. Why does Roderigo hate Othello? Roderigo hates Othello because he is in love with Desdemona. Unfortunately, Desdemona married Othello which means he cannot be with her.
  7. Why should Roderigo pay particular attention to Iago's ideas and motives? Roderigo should pay particular attention to Iago's ideas and motives because he is giving him money. Also, Iago clearly cannot be trusted and Roderigo should be wary of working with him. He is following him blindly because he is so in love with Desdemona.
  8. There are several negative words/phrases and racial slurs aimed at Othello. Find 3 examples and explain why they are offensive. Othello is referred to as an old black ram, a Barbary horse, and refers to him as having "thick lips." These are all negative because they are demeaning/ stereotypical to Othello and shows that several characters in the play think "less" of him. "Because we come to do you service and you think we are ruffians, you'll have your daughter covered with a Barbary horse" (i.i 123-125). "Even now, now, very now, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe" (I.i 124-127). "What full fortune does the thick lips owe if he can carry it thus" (I.i 72-73).

TOPIC: Introduction to 8th Grade Social Studies TOPIC: Act I scene ii Homework Questions

  1. How does Iago lie to Othello at the beginning of the scene? He warns Othello that Brabantio will be angry with him, even though Iago was the one who informed Brabantio about Othello's marriage to Desdemona. "Nay, but he prated and spoke such scurvy and provoking terms against your honor, that with the little godliness I have I did full hard forbear him" (I.ii 8-12).
  2. What do you learn about Othello's background in this scene? Why is this important concerning his marriage to Desdemona? We learn that Othello comes from a royal family. He is very modest about this and does not like to brag. This is important concerning his marriage to Desdemona because her father assumes that he is not good enough for her as he is simply a Moor. However, since he comes from royalty Brabantio is more likely to accept him. "'Tis yet to know I fetch my life and being from men from royal seige, and my demerits may speak unbonneted to as proud a fortune as this that I have reached" (I.ii 22-27).
  3. Why does the Duke send for Othello? What danger is Cyprus facing? The Duke sends for Othello because he needs to speak to him immediately regarding Cyprus. Cyprus may be attacked by the Turks. To prevent this from happening, the Duke send Othello to Cyrpus to defend it. "The Duke does greet you, general, and he requires your haste-post-haste appearance, even on this instant" (I.ii 42-44).
  4. How does Othello respond to the irritation of Brabantio's attacks? Why is he not arrested as Brabantio has ordered? When Othello is confronted by Brabantio he tells him that he does not want to fight because he respects him as a man and his position as a senator. Othello is not arrested because he summoned by the Duke to travel to Cyprus to defend it against the Turks.

TOPIC: Introduction to 8th Grade Social Studies

TOPIC: Act II scene i & ii Homework Questions
  1. What is the situation at sea as Act II begins? What has happened to the Turkish fleet? The situation at sea as Act II begins is that the weather is rough and stormy. As a result the Turkish has been destroyed and their will not be a battle. Many of the people at Cyprus are concerned for Othello and the other members traveling from Venice.
  2. Which ship from Venice arrives first? Which ship arrives second? Why is it surprising that it arrives before Othello's? The first ship that arrives is Michael Cassio. The second ship to arrive is Iago who is bringin Desdemona, Emilia and Roderigo. Finally, Othello's ship is the last to arrive due to the stormy seas. It is surprising that Othello arrived last because he was the first to leave and an experienced sailor/navigator who should have been the first to arrive.
  3. Who is Emilia? What does the discussion between Desdemona and Emilia tell us about their relationship? Emilia is Iago's wife and Desdemona's attendant. The discussion between Desdemona and Emilia teaches us that Emilia is willing to take abuse from her husband Iago and not stand up for herself. Desdemona stands up for Emilia and speaks back to Iago (not common for women during that time). This shows us that Desdemona is a strong woman who stands up for herself.
  4. Why does Iago want Roderigo to anger Cassio? What is the purpose of Iago's plan? Iago wants Roderigo to anger Michael Cassio so that he will get in trouble with Othello and the people of Cyprus and lose his position of lieutenant. Iago tells Roderigo to anger Cassio because he is in love with Desdemona. Roderigo doesn't know any better and is willing to blindly follow Iago's plan. Ultimately, Iago hopes that this plan will lead to him becoming the lieutenant.
  5. What keeps Roderigo from seeing the truth instead of Iago's lies? Roderigo is unable to see the truth because he is gullable and blinded by his love for Desdemona. Iago promises Roderigo that the two will be together eventually if he follows his plan.

TOPIC: Introduction to 8th Grade Social Studies

TOPIC: Act II scene iii Homework Questions
  1. Why does Iago want Cassio to drink more wine? What is the outcome of Cassio's drinking? Iago wants Cassio to drink more wine so that he will become drunk and wreckless. Cassio turns down the invitation to drink because he takes his job very seriously and is not much of a drinker saying, "I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking" II.iii34-35). The outcome of Cassio's drinking is that he gets into a fight with Roderigo. Montano attempts to break up the fight and Cassio responds by stabbing him.
  2. What lie does Iago tell Montano about Cassio? Iago tells Montano that although Cassio is a good leader he is concerned because he drinks a lot which may clout his judgment as a lieutenant stating, "I fear the trust Othello puts him in, on some odd time of his infirmary, will shake the island" (II.iii130-132). Clearly, Iago's plan is beginning to occur. He claims that Cassio must drink every night before he goes to sleep.
  3. Why does Othello strip Cassio of his rank? Othello strips Michael Cassio of his rank because he gets drunk, gets into a fight with Roderigo and stabs Montano when he tries to break up the argument between the two men. Othello is especially upset as it is a celebration and he has yet to consummate his wedding vows. Othello says, "Cassio, I love thee, but nevermore be officer of mine" (II.iii.264-265).
  4. Why does Iago want Cassio to ask Desdemona for help in restoring Othello's faith in Cassio? Iago wants Cassio to ask Desdemona for help by bringing all of the characters together whom he intends to use to get his revenge on Othello. He wants to make it appear that Desdemona has a "soft spot" for Cassio so he can later form a connection between the two characters implying they have a relationship with each other. "Confess yourself freely to her, importune her help to put you in your place again. She is of so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition, she holds it a vice in her goodness not to do more than she is requested" (II.iii 301 - 304). Also, Othello is extremely angry and disappointed with Cassio and it would not be a good idea to ask for his position back right away.
  5. How does Iago get back in Othello's good graces? Iago gets back in Othello's good graces by telling him what has happened between Cassio and Montano but is reluctant to do so, illustrating that he is a loyal friend who does not want to betray his comrade. " I know, Iago, thy honesty and love dth mince this matter, making it light to Cassio" (II.iii 234 - 235).
  6. What is Roderigo's complaint, and how does Iago answer it? Roderigo complains that he has spent most of his money in pursuit of Desdemona and wishes to return to Venice. Iago persuades him to stay by encouraging him to be patient and he will feel better once he gets some rest. "How poor are they that have not patience...Retire thee, go where thou are billeted" (II.iii 349 & 359).
