Whew!! After a long break, we have A LOT of work to get done in this short week.
Today we will do our best to get through act II scene iv and all of Act IV. We need to continue to fill out the two charts that you have in your notes already. One is looking at the characters' passions and the other is keeping track of the mounting circumstantial evidence against Desdemona. Today we will also examine the impact of jealousy as a ruling passion in the play. Are there other ruling passions at work as well? We will look at what jealousy is and where it comes from. This spawns from a conversation with Emilia where she states: "But jealous souls will not be answer'd so; they are not ever jealous for the cause, but jealous for they are jealous. 'Tis a monster Begot upon itself, born on itself" Act III scene iv lines 155-157). We will begin a creative response where we explore the idea of passion using any of the visual or written texts. This builds on the writing we did right at the beginning of this unit. If time we will continue to work on our vocabulary for Act IV.
