The Shakespeare play I decided to choose was Othello. I chose Act Five Scene Two, Lines 80 – 90.
I played the character of Othello. I learned that tone plays a critical role in the speech. The volume and pace you choose to take can set moods and or feelings within the speech. Volume, pace, tone and inflections are crucial while giving an oral performance.
I understood the disappointment and anger Othello felt.
