Shakespeare builds many differences into his hero and heroine, including race, age, and cultural background. Yet the couple's strong love would potentially easily overcome these differences were it not for Iago, who sets out to destroy Othello. Iago's false insinuations about Desdemona's infidelity draw Othello into his schemes, and Desdemona is subjected to Othello's horrifying verbal and physical assaults. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Folger Guide to Teaching Othello \u003c\/i\u003eincludes\u003ci\u003e: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -An explanation of the Folger methodology for teaching Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e -Scholarly essays from experts in the field\u003cbr\u003e -A five-week breakdown of digestible lesson plans\u003cbr\u003e -Resource links for a deeper dive into the world of Shakespeare \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis guide is an essential part of any teacher's toolkit.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Peggy O'Brien is a classroom teacher who founded the Folger Shakespeare Library's Education Department in 1981.
