English 12 Demo

Please watch this video presentation on Shakespeare’s use of language using an except from Othello. It will highlight his writing style and his use of metaphor.

Select a passage that contains a metaphor (not discussed in the video presentation) and write your own analysis of how Shakespeare’s language in that text might function in different contexts. How do his choices make the meaning more effective? How does the style in which it was written impact the meaning or delivery?

How do the words he selected or his figurative language work together to create meaning?
