Othello

EQ: Who is ultimately responsible for the death of Desdemona in the play Othello? How did characters use, or not use, truth and how did this affect their culpability in the death?

Use your copy of the play along with your research on the geography, race, women, and marriage and our class discussion to help back up your reasoning. You should reference the binary opposition you have been following and touch on how it influenced, or highlighted, truth being used, and ultimately Desdemona's death.
