Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can analyse how Shakespeare uses language and structure to present Iago as evil in Acts 1 and 2.

Show transcript
Using two slightly different adjectives in a topic sentence can add depth and debate to a paragraph. Comment on patterns of language, such as diabolical or bestial imagery is useful when analysing Iago. Iago can be seen as satanic and Machiavellian. Concluding sentences can draw ideas together and can help you comment on Iago's role in the overall tragedy.
