Critical Response #7
Why is sexual innuendo so prevalent in the play Othello? Honestly, why is this play so perverted? What was Shakespeare possibly trying to accomplish with all of the sexual double-entendres, jokes, and perverted comments throughout the play?
Please write a critical response based on these questions. Your paper should be 2-3 pages long (meaning at least 2 full pages), double-spaced, with 1” margins using Times New Roman 12 point font, and it should conform to the Critical Response Papers Rubric handed out in class and also available on Blackboard. You must also use at least 4 direct quotations from the play to support the claims that you make in your paper, cited with parenthetical references in correct MLA format “like this” (Shakespeare 17).
