Use this online text of Othello (and your incredible knowledge of the play) to find two episodes which relate to the themes of:
- reputation/honour
- honesty/deceit
- knowledge/ignorance
- love
- race
And complete the theme tracking sheets.
Once you've done that, choose a particular character in a particular scene where you think there is noteworthy representation of speech (particularly in terms of repetition), and copy and paste all of that character's lines from that scene into a blank Word document (taking care to cut out the other characters' lines and the capitalized names to show who is speaking). Now head on over to wordle.net and click "Create". Paste your character's lines into the box at the top of the screen and click "Go" in order to create a diagram of word frequency. The more times the word is used in the text, the bigger it will appear in the diagram.
Save your diagram in the public gallery, give it a title saying which character and scene it is and a brief comment explaining what it suggests about the character, then copy and paste the web address of your finished diagram into a comment on this blog.
Here's my example which is Brabantio in Act I, Scene ii.
