Review Othello’s final speech pp.264-5 (act V.ii)
In the article “Othello’s Alienation” by Edward Berry, he concludes,
The most disastrous consequence of racial alienation for Othello is not the hostility or
estrangement of the Venetians but his own acceptance of the framework within which
they define him. In his incapacity to break free of this mental construct, to affirm his
own identity, . . . Othello becomes a double victim of the early colonial imagination, an
alien to himself and others.
Respond to this conclusion. Write a paper of 2-3 pages in which you discuss how Othello can be seen as “alien to himself and others.” Consider how Iago and Desdemona contribute to Othello’s perception of himself. Quote from Berry’s article for support.
