Othello

How honesty relates to Othello….

• believes that everyone is honest and they are nothing but what they seem.

FORESHADOWING is used when Othello is believing everything that Lago is saying to him because of his honest reputation which will later lead to his downfall.

“As I confess it is my nature’s plague to spy into abuses, and oft my jealousy shapes faults that are not”
