Othello - Useful links and resources

Hi folks,

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ewan McGregor onstage in Othello (2007)

The internet is awash with great  Othello resources to support your study.

As we begin working our way through the text, it is a good idea to go away and clarify/reinforce what you've learnt. The resource packs I gave you today will help; for example, after studying a scene, it would be useful to have a read through the scene summary and analysis in the story pack. Look after this stuff - you'll need it through the course and especially for revision in the second half of Y13.

Here are some of the most useful Othello resources out there:

• Othello @ Sparknotes
• Context lecture (from 5.34)
• The Animated Othello
• The Othello Rap (!)
• Othello at The Globe (2007): Part 1 & Part 2
• The National Theatre - Othello clips and interviews
• Othello Lecture from Marjorie Garber at Harvard University (2007)
• Othello intro, plot and context 1 & Othello characters, themes and symbols 
• Critical overview
• Royal Shakespeare Company - Scenes and Explorations

No need to do anything with this stuff now, just have a flick and get an idea of all the great stuff that is out there to help you. Maybe watch the Othello rap.

I'll add more stuff as I find it. If you find anything great that you want to add, just let me know or leave a comment.
