Characters of Othello

Conflicts Identified

Individual Acts

It is in this act that the exposition takes place. We start to see the conflicts in the plot and what Iago, the mastermind behind a plot to get revenge on Othello, plans to do.	Act I, Scene I Setting: “The play opens on a warm Venetian night, where a conversation is underway between Roderigo, a gentleman, and Iago, a soldier under Othello's command.” It then moves onto Brabantio’s property, specifically underneath his window.
These acts are all part of the Rising Action. We slowly see how Iago executes his plan and how well his plan is actually going. Essentially, you can view each scene as one step further that Iago progresses in his plan leading up to the climax.	Act I, Scene II Setting: “On a Venetian street where Iago has joined Othello and his attendants.” The setting then moves into a meeting with Brabantio.
	Act I, Scene III Setting: The council chamber.
	Act II, Scene I Setting: “In Cyprus at a seaport where Montano, the Venetian governor and his friends discuss a tempest that might have destroyed the Turkish fleet.” In this scene Iago “soliloquizes that he intends to “make the Moor thank and love” him, while at the same time planting thoughts of jealousy in Othello's mind -- thoughts so strong “That judgement cannot cure.”
	Act II, Scene II Setting: “On a street in Cyprus a herald announces the great victory feast and party that Othello has planned.”
	Act II, Scene III Setting: Setting: “In the great hall of the castle Othello, Desdemona, and Cassio speak briefly about Iago.”
	Act III, Scene I Setting: Setting: “Outside the castle, Cassio has gathered some musicians in the hopes of putting Othello in a good mood.” He also tries to see Desdemona.
	Act III, Scene II Setting: Setting: This is a short scene where Othello makes plans to inspect some parts of the fortifications built by his troops.
This scene is the climax. It is the point where the whole play turns around and Iago’s plan finally comes all-together. With the combination of Desdemona bidding for Cassio after Othello sees Cassio leaving her quarters, Iago is finally able to enter Othello’s mind and execute his revenge. It is also the part of the play where we see Othello's tragic flaw.	Act III, Scene III Setting: “The scene shifts to the garden of the castle.” In this scene we see Othello’s tragic flaw and become a dynamic character. He transforms from the hero to a villan. Before Iago was able to manipulate Othello, we see Othello as a huge hero who defened Venice numerous times. But as soon as Iago is able to carry out his plot, Othello turns into this murderous character.
	Act III, Scene IV Setting: “In front of the castle Desdemona and Emilia meet the Clown, a servant to Othello.”
	Act IV, Scene I Setting: “On the grounds of the castle, Iago and Othello have found a secluded place in which to continue their discussion of Desdemona's adultery. Although to the audience it appears that they have resumed where they left off at the end of Act III, Shakespeare hints that much time has elapsed and that Iago used those missing hours and days to pollute further Othello's mind.”
	Act IV, Scene II Setting: In a room of the castle. Othello has finds Emilia to question her about her knowledge of Desdemona's affair.
	Act V, Scene I Setting: “Out on the streets Iago positions Roderigo to ambush Cassio.”
This is a big scene for many reasons. First off, it is the ending scene. Secondly, it contains the falling action, denouement and the resolution. Essentially, this entire act is the resolution to the plot of the play. We finally see what becomes of Iago's plan and whether or not Othello remains the hero or remains the villain. Turns out that Othello recognizes the betrayal and his mistake. Because of this, and the fact that he killed his wife, he believes killing himself is the only way he can correct the wrong he has done. The Falling Action is where Othello finally realizes that Iago has been manipulating him all along to, in the end, kill his wife. The denouement is where Emilia proves to Othello that Desdemona was not cheating, but it was Iago who told her to steal the handkerchief and that it was Iago who must have planned this all out.	Act V, Scene II Setting: “The scene shifts to Desdemona's bedchamber in the castle.”
