The Structure of Drama
The Source of The Drama
The story of Shakespeare's Othello comes from
the Hecatommithi, a collection of tales published
in 1565 by Giraldi Cinthio. Cinthio in turn had
been influenced by the Decameron by Giovanni
Boccaccio.
 Figurative Language
SIMILE
(Act 1, scene 1, line 50): "Wears
out his time, much like his
master's ass..."
Iago uses a simile comparing the
servants to donkey's to show the
unfair treatment of servants.
METAPHORS
(Act 4, scene 1, line 75): "A
horned man's a monster and a
beast..."
This a metaphor because
Othello says that because of
Desdemona's unfaithfulness it
has turned his personality into
something like a beast.
ALLUSION
(Act 4, scene 2, line 88): " and
the moon winks..."
Othello once again references
Diana or Cynthia the goddess of
chastity.
