Part A What is one way that Shakespeare uses source material in Othello?

to illustrate Iago’s skill on a battlefield

to establish Iago’s jealous nature

to describe why Iago loves the Moor’s wife

to explain how Iago became so close to the Moor

Question 2
Part B

Which statement best explains how Shakespeare transformed the source material described in Part A?

While Ensign’s motivations are rooted in love, Iago is naturally evil and thus less sympathetic as a villain.

Ensign is bitter and manipulative; Iago is acting only because he feels it is his duty.

While Ensign is highly favored and trusted by the Moor, Iago is overlooked by the Moor.

Both Iago and Ensign are skilled warriors, but Shakespeare takes more time to explain Iago’s power and the role he plays in the Moor’s army.

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.

made man, i'll never forget

mine is worth far more

these are hyperbolic statements, i hope it

journalism is the gathering, organizing, and distribution of news -- to include feature stories and commentary -- through the wide variety of print and non-print media outlets. it is not a recent phenomenon, by any means; the earliest reference to a journalistic product comes from rome circa 59 b.c., when news was recorded in a circular called the acta diurna. it enjoyed daily publication and was hung strategically throughout the city for all to read, or for those who were able to read.
