I have collated a bunch of in-depth, A worthy essay plans covering a multitude of themes for Othello (AQA- Love through the ages specifically). Below are some of the questions that are covered within this document:
[- âTexts typically present the damage that can be caused when taboos are broken due to loveâ, In light of this view, discuss how Shakespeare presents the relationship between Othello and Desdemona in this extract and elsewhere in the play
âMale characters are presented as most romantically desirable when they display heroic attributes and exert their power over othersâ- looking at the presentation of qualities of men
âTypically, texts present women as objects of menâs sexual desiresâ- looking at presentation of women
âIn the literature of love, male characters value their pride above all else, including their romantic relationshipsâ
âAs lovers, Othello and Desdemona either worship or despise one another. There is no middle ground.â - how Shakespeare presents O & Dâs attitudes towards one another
âMale characters in the literature of love are more inclined to trust other men. This is the true cause of problems within romantic relationships between men and womenâ- focused on trust/broken trust
âTypically, texts present men as unable to control their emotions or act rationally upon themâ
âHonour is the most important aspect of a manâs sense of self-respectâ
âTypically, texts present husbands and wife present marriage from a male point of viewâ
