Othello

Main Themes

From researching into Othello, I found that the main themes that are in the play are Jealousy, Racism, Love and betrayel.  The two main themes that interested me the most, purely because i thought id be able to do more with was Jealousy and Racism, so i concentrated on reserching into theses here i found the deffinitions of each and some visuals that represent each. If i was too take this firther i could consider choosing one theme and creating something from that. All of these themes are relevant to today in this modern society, particularly Racism which would be a key aspect to take forward.

Jealousy:

1. Fearful or wary of being supplanted; apprehensive of losing affection or position.
2.
a. Resentful or bitter in rivalry; envious: jealous of the success of others.
b. Inclined to suspect rivalry.
3. Having to do with or arising from feelings of envy, apprehension, or bitterness: jealous thoughts.
4. Vigilant in guarding something: We are jealous of our good name.
5. Intolerant of disloyalty or infidelity; autocratic: a jealous God.
 

Visuals that represent Jealousy:

Film poster about jealousy, i particularly like this version purely because visual its very intriguing, the way that the man on the right is looking down on the couple and hes different shades and tones of being red which symbolises anger and fristration is very clever. I also like the way it is an old film poster. The design and style of it is very unique and recognizable.

I chose to put this book cover on the Jealousy section because although visually it is very bland, the image on it represents jealousy, with the amount of people all close nit crowding the couple would suggest to me of jealousy.
 

Racism:

1.The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
