Write a few sentences explore the issue of racism as it is portrayed in the first act?

Each of these questions count for 2 points and should have answers of around 4 sentences.

1.Write a few sentences explore the issue of racism as it is portrayed in the first act? How is Othello portrayed by Iago and Brabantio? How is Iago using racism? 2.How does Brabantio look for buying into that racism? What does that say about the author’s opinion about racism?
3.Using examples from the text, discuss Othello’s defense and how he explains Desdemona fell in love with him. Does the monologue which starts with “Her father loved me” have any hallmarks of poetry? Does this speech make Othello stand out from the other characters?
4.Using examples from the text, discuss the role of dramatic irony (when the audience knows something the characters do not) in the first two acts. Shakespeare ensures that we, the audience, will know Iago’s loyalty is false from the very first lines of the play – how does that impact our experience of his interactions with the other characters who do not know his intentions?
Soliloquies and asides are incredibly important in this play and the first 2 acts have several. Using examples from the text, discuss what impact these intentional breaks in the fourth wall have on our experience of the story.
5.Iago gives no less than three reasons as his motivation for betraying and plotting against Othelcixlo – what are they and what do you make of the fact that he gives so many?
