3. Main Question &/or Literary Criticism Lens: what causes all the betrayal between Othello and the other characters
Other related questions- What makes the others jealous to do this? Who can Othello really trust? Are these people easily tricked? Who is really at fault for all this? Why couldn't anyone stop Iago till it was too late?

4. Evidencce Databank
1) Iago “Nay, but he prated and spoke such scurly and provoking terms against your Honor” 7-10 p21

2) Brabantio “O, thou foul thief, where hast thou stowed my daughter?” 80-81 Brabantio questions where his daughter is. it's right to question but he needs to take action quicker in my opinion. If two men tell your daughter is with someone you disapprove of then you have to catch her before she does something you don't want

3) Iago “Go, make money. I have told thee often and I retail thee again and again, I hate the moor.”407-409 P53 Iago tells this to Roderigo so that he can be able to pay him so iago can trick Othello and Cassio. Just so Roderigo can be with Desdemona. my thing is why is Iago charging him to do something. I understand that things aren't free but make him pay through another way. I say if Iago a little bit smarter he would make Roderigo murder Othello instead going through some giant plan and tricking people into things. Why not just say you murder Othello and I'll convince Desdemona to be by your side since Othello has parished

4) Iago “I hate the Moor, and it is thought abroad that ‘twix my sheets ‘ He done my office. I know not if ‘t be tru…” 428-430 P55 Iago shows lots of hate towards Othello just because he is a man of color and is with a white women. Another thing that Iago thinks Othello has slept with his wife, thats what he means when he said "he done my office..." So really he's just jealous of his wife's past. To me it seems as if Iago has always found Othello to be a threat towards his way of life

5) Iago “The Moor is of a free and open nature that thinks men honest that but seem to be so, and will as tenderly be led by th’ nose as asses are” 442-445 P 55 He just saying Othello is just so easy to fool. In my opinion iago just called Othello a Jacka**. Iago is one of the few characters I've seen have hate for a person the keeps building as progresses.

6) Desdemona “but that our loves and comfort should increase Even as our days do grow!”210-212 P73 This to me is a true woman that stands by her Husband even if her own father disapproves. Desdemona is very truthful because she is honest why she loves Othello, and she also states that her father took her mother away from her father. So now she feels that it's her time to do the same.

7) Iago “The Lieutenart tonight watches pm the court of guard. First I must tell thee this Desdemona is directly in love with him.” 238-240 P75 Iago puts his plan into effect, it's very good plan but all the time he put into it can be used to things that can better everyone besides just himself. He also is a good liar, because he fills Roderigo's head up to make him believe that he has a chance with Desdemona.

8) Iago “Very nature will instruct her in it and compel her to some second choice” 255 P75

9) Iago “ The wine she drinks is made of grapes. If she had been blessed, she would never have loved the Moor.” 273-275 P77 This saying means that if Desdemona was lucky she wouldn't be with Othello because thats nothing to be happy or blessed about. You don't have to be blessed in order to have a good life. Life is really what you make it and how you use what your given.

10) Iago “ I do love Cassio well and would do mush to cure him of this evil…” 150-151 P91 He's explaining that Cassio is dear to him but things have to get done in order for his plan to follow through. i can understand where Iago's coming from but i never use my friends to get what i want or need. But the other part i do agree with, were things have to be done in order to get what you want in life whether it be good or bad.

11) Iago “…Exclaim no more against it. And, good lieutenant, I think you think I love you.” 324-330 P101 Iago is just trying to get on Cassio's good side so Cassio is able to trust every word that comes out of his mouth. Which does work because Iago does have way with words and twisting them into something that suits him.

12) Iago “I protest in the sincerity of love and honest kindness” 347-348 P103

13) Iago “ And what’s he, then, that says I play the villain, when this advice is free I give and honest.”356-357 P103 Iago admits to the audience that he plays the villain and loves it. He has to reason to lie about his intentions to the audience, not the following cast though. But he lied about being honest cause he lied rite to Othello's face about how Cassio stabbed Montano. So once again being a villain always comes back to the light whether he admits it or not

14) Iago “ Cassio, my lord? No sure. I cannot think it that he would steal away so guiltylike seeing your coming” 41-43 P119

15) Iago “ O, beware,my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss…” 195-197 P129 Iago does have moments where what he says has lots of value and insight behind it. But just because he's the bad guy throughout the play it makes them less meaningful to the audience. I've heard this before but when you witness it in a situation like this or read about it tends to make more sense and your able to apply to life better now that undertand more than just half of the concept

6.Thesis statement :
1) Iago has a way with convincing other to be apart of his villanous plan. 2) Many caharacters in Othello are dishonest while others show little signs of honesty 3) Betrayal is one key concepts that continueiously pops up in the book, this theme causes the main conflict amoungst the characters

7.Outline Ideas :
1) Connect my theme to my thesis while making sure it goes together 2) Have most questions that i asked before answered so that I'm able to review my information with ease \ 3) Have my databank at hand just so that when I begin to write my paper all my quotes are in one place 4) Start to think of an opening paragraph for my essay, make sure to base around my thesis statement so i don't stray off topic 5) I begin to write my paper from my thesis and Have a strong base.
