<span style="color: #57337b; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">For MONDAY, May 9, WRITE a passage analysis for the passage assigned in class. In order to do so.. .

1) Use the "passage analysis flow chart" handout to help you interpret the imagery in the passage. Also, identify WHO says the passage and briefly summarize the events leading to this moment: ie. //Emilia says this to Desdemona when Othello first displays jealous behaviour regarding the missing handkerchief.// 2) Based on the implications of the imagery, and on the significance of the other times in the play these ideas (images and associated meanings - ie jealousy and monster, or doubt and proof, 'black'-race and savagery) are raised, WHY IS THIS PARTICULAR PASSAGE IMPORTANT? 3) Use your findings as you analyse the meaning of your passage. 4) Below is an example of a passage analysis. 5) Beneath it is a copy of the quotations and their locations in the text.
