Iago's Web

Place the following character names in a circle extending to near the edges of your paper

• Brabantio
• Cassio
• Desdemona
• The Duke
• Emilia
• Othello
• Roderigo
• Montano
• Bianca
• Lodovico/Gratiano

Draw lines citing the relationship between the characters prior to Iago’s campaign of manipulation.

Then place Iago somewhere within the web you’ve made and in a different color, list the relationships he has with the characters and how his involvement has tainted the other characters’ relationships.

Here's an example of a "web in progress." (Note: this is only the beginning of a web. There are many more "before" relationships to be shown, as well as many "afters.")

This document will be checked several times over the course of reading the play. Please keep it updated.

The first check will be Friday, March 23rd.
