Race: Consider Othello’s racial identity in Othello. How is he marked as an outsider? How do others describe him? How does he describe himself? Does his identity change throughout the play? If so, why? Create a thesis-based literary analysis about how Othello’s racial identity is constructed in the play. Support this analysis with specific quotations from and descriptions of the text of the play. Note: You are also welcome to bring in other characters (including, but not limited to, characters who represent constructions of “whiteness” in the play) to compare, contrast, or add to your perspective on Othello and race.
