Can someone please make up an essay question on Othello for me to practise?

Ive got an in class essay, so i dont know the question.





All i know is that the question will focus on themes, dramatic techniques, character, plot and the language of 'Othello'.





Can anyone come up with a question which will include all that.Can someone please make up an essay question on Othello for me to practise?
You could write a couple of books on what you say your teacher might ask on the exam.





Discuss the paradoxical representation of good and evil in Othello.





Compare and contrast the character flaws of jealousy and envy in Othello and Iago.





What is accomplished in the asides and soliloquies of Iago when he is talking to or of Roderigo?





Discuss the ways Iago plays upon the fears of other characters in the play. Concentrate on Roderigo, Othello and Brabantio.





I really like this play. I hope you do well on your exam.Can someone please make up an essay question on Othello for me to practise?
The best way to write an essay for a question that you wont know til the exam is to have it really basic. The essential features of an essay is what and how. So, write an essay to the question:





What does Othello demonstrate, and how is it portrayed in the text?





That way, you can write a paragraph of each of the points you mentioned, and in each paragraph discuss how it was achieved, with reference to examples in the text.





This can then usually be adapted to the acual essay question in the exam, since essays are usually looking for what and how





Hope this helps, good luck!!
Maybe the motif of poisoning (Iago poisoning Othello).. also, you could write an essay about gender in the play.


I wrote a solid essay about perception vs. reality.. that is, the difference between what a character knows vs. what a character believes. Anyway, any theme that you could develop would make a strong essay-- look at diction, syntax, fig. language, etc. What an awesome play--
In what way is Othello鈥檚 race relevant to the events of the play? Does Othello鈥檚 race and/or status as an outsider make him more vulnerable to Iago? In what ways? Would Othello himself be different if he were the same color as everyone around him?
