English LiteratureOthelloA2/A-levelEdexcel Created by: PatrickWhitefordCreated on: 05-11-18 20:19 "Othello is both a fantasy of interracial love and social tolerance...." "And a nightmare of racial hatred and male violence." 1 of 7 "Ideologies, the play tells us" "only work because they are not entirely external to us." 2 of 7 "Othello is a victim of racial beliefs..." "Precisely because he becomes an agent of misogynist ones." 3 of 7 "Othello yokes together and reshapes..." "available images of 'blackamoors' and Moors, giving us a black Moor with both a slave past and noble lineage." 4 of 7 "Venice became an ideal" "That was evoked by English writers subtly to critique domestic affairs." 5 of 7 "Venetian civility has been built by letting in" "the very foreigners who now threaten to undermine it at a different level." 6 of 7 "If some English writers extolled the virtues of Venice" "Others found Italy a dangerous model for the English" 7 of 7
