Recurring symbols:
Weather-
When the weather is stormy and the seas are stirred, it symbolizes that
there is an upset in the balance of the earth.
What this means is that there is something seriously wrong happening,
and the heavens are most likely angry with the earth. An example of bad weather in Othello is at
the beginning of Act 2. The
“high-wrought flood”(A2, S1, L2) symbolizes an upset, and sets the bad mood for
the audience.
Dishonesty- Iago is quite dishonest
throughout the play, and this is a primary way to express his evil thoughts and
mindset. When “Honest Iago” isn’t honest
at all, not only does It add irony as another recurring symbol, but it
expresses Iago’s evil ways by showing his mischievous mindset.
