DO NOT FORGET YOUR CHARACTERS SKETCH: DUE MONDAY!
PLEASE TURN THIS IN ON HARD COPY AND ALSO POST ON YOUR BLOG. You must include an image of the character, their role, why you selected this character to play the role of ????, and describe their persona in the play. Please try to use drama terms in your description. Must be at least a paragraph for each character in your ACT.


William Dafoe (Iago)

William Dafoe (Iago) - I picked William Dafoe as Iago because in Spiderman he was a two faced good and bad guy. Iago is two faced like him. Iago is the villian of the play, and William Dafoe is the villian of Spiderman.

Terrence Howard (Othello)

Terrence Howard (Othello) - I picked Terrance Howard as Othello because Terrence Howard plays the good guy (protagonist) in all of his movies. Othello is the good guy (protagonist) in the play. Othello is a Moor and if Terrence Howard was around during this time he would be a Moor too.

Kate Winslet (Desdemona)

Kate Winslet (Desdemona) - I picked Kate Winslet as Desdemona because in Titanic Kate Winslet had an affair with another guy and Desdemona is claimed to have had a affair with someone else. Just like Desdemona, Kate Winslet is determind and self-possessed.

Rachel Mcadams (Emilia)

Rachel Mcadams (Emilia) - I picked Rachel Mcadams as Emilia because in Mean Girls Mcadams was very attached to her friends and stressed about her boyfriend, and in Othello Emilia is attached to her friends and stressed about Iago.

Jack Nicholson (Roderigo)

Jack Nicholson (Roderigo) - I picked Jack Nicholson as Roderigo because Jack Nicholson has a lot of roles were he acts out jealousy and Roderigo is jealous as well. Roderigo believes that if he gives all of his money to Iago, Iago will help him win Desdemona.

Cuba Gooding Jr. (Lodovico)

Cuba Gooding Jr. (Lodovico) - I picked Cuba Gooding Jr. as Lodovico because Gooding has roles were he played a messenger and that is Lodovico's role in Othello.

Leonardo Dicaprio (Cassio)

Leonardo Dicaprio (Cassio) - I picked Leonardo Dicaprio as Cassio because Cassio is a soldier but resented by Iago, Dicaprio is resented by many people in the roles he played, especially in Romieo and Juliet.

Kate Bosworth (Bianca)

Kate Bosworth (Bianca) - Bianca is a prostitutem Cassio teases her about marrying her.
