[@Isabel-wd1vj]

7 years later and still the most useful Othello analysis

[@euphoria5004]

i literally need this for tomorrow's english exam

[@s.osullivan1193]

About Iago’s duplicity: he curses early in the play using the name of Janus, the two faced Roman god of doors. This links him to the theme of deception and implies his own two-faced nature

@Rylan Saint be quiet ryan

[@amyjennery6060]

you're such an intelligent bean

[@EmiliaIKnow]

AMY OMF I LOVE YOU

[@amyjennery6060]

emilia I LOVE YOU TOO 💜

[@patriciamackinlay6495]

clear and concise ...you would be a great teacher as your communication skills are excellent.

[@thelux8539]

I thought the same thing

[@benjones1458]

the animalistic imagery in the Black Ram...White ewe statement also brings Desdemona down to the same level as if tainted by being with him, probably because of the colour imagery and connotations related to the colour black as something dark; as you rightfully said would have had religious connections to the devil, also example of dramatic irony as Iago, the one who says it, has the closest demeanour to the devil.

[@muhammadmiraj5880]

The cross cultural adaptation of Othello in Indian cinema is way fascinating. Having read the play (its usually off the routine Theatrical list) and seen the adaptation, I had a very different idea but your overview brings many different angles to the fore. Thanks

[@EmiliaIKnow]

That does sound v interesting! All about perspective :)

[@amelialorrimore7860]

Thank you so much, this was really helpful to remind me of the basic plot line and key info for my exam tomorrow in a clear and concise way!!

[@caitypaine7892]

This helped me so so much! I have an exam tomorrow and this was so concise and clear in understanding

[@luisaboo8757]

this video is excellent and so clear, i incorporated some of your ideas into my a level essay and got an A!

[@zahrahd_]

I just got done with my A level exam on Othello last Thursday and I'm just watching this because I thoroughly enjoyed studying it towards the end. You wrapped things up and explained a lot of things so concisely! Enjoyed this thoroughly. I wish I could write in the way you speak here.

[@EmiliaIKnow]

Thank you, but it's all my teachers!

[@Alice-hf6gj]

someone decided to put Othello on the GCSE speck so im studying it and this is really helping me with my revision for my mocks and actual exams this year. thank youuuu

[@xiaogongchen8074]

Thank you, this was extremely helpful and has covered so much. Plus you are a pleasure to listen to - please keep making videos as they are great and you deserve more viewers!

[@EmiliaIKnow]

Awh thank you, glad you found it helpful!

[@aamiraliasad1747]

Emilia dear, you know what? Your eyes don't let me focus on what you are saying. Touchwood!

[@noorkhadija5386]

yes! gave English lit exam today and have sociology tomorrow. My exam went good and hope yours did too! :)

[@HollyPeckitt]

Yep! It went pretty well. Loved the Iago and Emilia question! How did you find Sociology? I didn't think it was too bad considering it's Sociology. Which texts are you studying for the Friday English exam?

[@abozeidhelal9913]

Thanks,Emilia....It helps me in my mid-term

[@teenagedreamer7461]

I am currently studying this for A level and it is pretty confusing but this has helped so much! Thank you!

[@danielhartridge1492]

Never seen a literary analyst as insightful or thorough as you are.. Keep up the good work! Can I maybe request Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller? It's the modern play for A level Literature this year, would love to hear your take on it. =D

[@danielhartridge1492]

I think you may have found your calling on KZbin

[@danielhartridge1492]

I really hope you do this with many other set works :)

[@EmiliaIKnow]

+Daniel Hartridge thank you, just using teachers notes and York notes etc! I could well make one on Death of a Salesman as I have studied that one as well! :)

[@danielhartridge1492]

York notes are my favourite =D Thank you so much

[@redfoxie7417]

My exams is on Thursday... Thank you, you wonderful person!! ❤

[@EmiliaIKnow]

+Red Foxie me too, good luck!

[@TheBritishActingCoach]

It's also important to remember about Emilia's and Iago's relationship - you can read a lot into how she speaks about men in Act 4 Scene 3! I feel she steals the napkin/handkerchief as to try and please a husband whom most likely beats and abuses her. Both Desdemona and Emilia fall victim to their husbands behaviour. Another social statement about the times.

[@laurenpaton3263]

Really vapid thing to say but I really like your eyeshadow :) Thanks so much, have an exam tomorrow and would be utterly screwed without you. xx

[@EmiliaIKnow]

+Lauren Paton thank you haha, and good luck!

[@larahofstetter1204]

very helpful. Thanks :)

[@EmiliaIKnow]

you're welcome!

[@jg-ts3pb]

so helpful x

[@darlenesworld9909]

I'm currently handling this book

[@ricardomurillo5205]

You look like you could actually play the role of Desdemona (not because you are naive) because of your tone of voice, beauty and angel like features. Othello is the best.

[@EmiliaIKnow]

aha thank you

[@dontlookatme3612]

This is wonderful - I've got my mock tomorrow so I'm trying to go over each text this afternoon, and this is really really helpful. Thank you!

[@EmiliaIKnow]

[@oliviadower1016]

thank you!!! :)

[@lowandbeland3416]

do you have any of your othello essays on google docs please?

[@ammykumar5543]

hey, if you could do anymore videos on Othello, focusing on anything specific like the role of women, that would be amazing!!

[@EmiliaIKnow]

+ammy kumar I may well do! ☺️

[@joaovitorribeiroalves1034]

Am I the only one here because loves Shakespeare and is not doing an exam? Great video btw!

[@yurhomi4478]

I always mention the chiaroscuro effect created by by the, ‘black ram tupping your white ewe’ quote.
