Today, Bella and I discussed the way our opinions have changed about Othello based on Othello's entrance into Scene 2. Bella's assignment was as follows: Look closely at Othello's lines 17-28.

Write a paragraph analyzing the language of Othello's first full speech in the play, and explaining what it suggests to you as a viewer or reader.
