One writing strategy that proves the central idea is characterization. Characterization is how a character is described. In this scene Iago is explaining to Roderigo why he is upset at Othello for being passed over for the position of lieutenant and wants to get revenge. Iago states, "No, calm down. I'm serving under him to take advantage of him. We can't all be masters, and not all masters should be followed" (I.i). Iago is characterized as a very beguiling character. This connects back to the central ***Minimum three sentences*** idea because Iago is not who he appears to be to Othello. One must be aware of what a person says compared to their motives or actions. 12 Aim 12 ­ Othello Act 2 scene 3.notebook September 27, 2019 13 Aim 12 ­ Othello Act 2 scene 3.notebook September 27, 2019 14 Aim 12 ­ Othello Act 2 scene 3.notebook September 27, 2019 15 Aim 12 ­ Othello Act 2 scene 3.notebook September 27, 2019 16 Aim 12 ­ Othello Act 2 scene 3.notebook September 27, 2019 17 Aim 12 ­ Othello Act 2 scene 3.notebook September 27, 2019 18 Aim 12 ­ Othello Act 2 scene 3.notebook September 27, 2019 1. advocacy ­ I am an advocate for civil rights because I believe everyone should be equal. 2. affinity ­ I have an affinity for Peter because I've known him for so long and he is a great guy. 3. agile ­ To successfully rob the bank, the thief needs to be agile to get away quickly. 4. alacrity ­ The students lacked alacrity when they walked into the classroom Monday morning after the long vacation.
