Benefits to teacher:
- Key contextual information on Venice, Cyprus, Italy and Machiavelli in order to help students push their responses to a higher level.
- Lesson culminates in students writing a high-level essay plan on the question: How does Shakespeare use setting in Othello?
- Inclusion of A05 criticality to help students engage at a higher level.
- Six, high-level example thesis statements are provided. Example thesis: *Shakespeare may have contrasted Venice with the barbaric setting of Cyprus – the military outpost – as a symbolic representation of the conflict between the characters in the play and a reflection of the masculine dominance exhibited. Cyprus, with its Muslim and militaristic heritage could also be a symbol for Othello and his otherness and isolation from mainstream society.
*This lesson is intended for students who have already studied Othello by William Shakespeare for A-Level and who are now revising.
