Question

make a list of images that shakespeare uses to describe othello. What do the images suggest about othello?

Answer 1

Out of all the examples of Shakespeares animal imagery, it is perhaps that of "making the beast with two backs" that engenders the feelings of most disgust on a character, or indeed, an audience. The reference comes from Othello, where Iago tries to think of the very worst scenario he can possibly paint to a man considering his wife's fidelity, or otherwise.
