TLWD: comprehension of literary and rhetorical devices by identifying and interpreting representative material accurately in class activities and discussion.

Journal: “Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.

And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more.

This is a complete record of its thoughts from the moment it began its life till the moment it ended it”:

· “Chaos is come Again” Rhetorical Activity (handout):

o Keep a running count of the number of times Iago uses repetition, leading questions, hesitation, intimation, and rhetorical appeals to unsettle Othello's mind in 3.3.93-280. For each device, note the effect it is having on Othello's state of mind.

Focus on Iago's introduction of the words "jealousy," "cuckold" and "monster" into his rhetoric. How do these words affect a man like Othello? Does Iago use other words that would also alarm him?

"Knavery's plain face is never seen till used."

Directions: Examine Iago's speech to Roderigo (1.1. 41-65) for what he says about himself and how he describes himself. Make a list of these things, then translate and rewrite what Iago says into modern English

&

Examine and list Iago's reasons for wishing to appear false to Othello (see especially 1.1.8-33; I.3.368-386; and 2.1.268-294). What are the reasons?

Is there any evidence of these reasons? If not, how does Iago use words to convince himself that he is completely justified in destroying Othello? That is, does Iago use any rhetorical devices to convince himself that he is in the right? Due: Monday, on Blogs!
