The Assignment and Guidelines: William Shakespeare
Write a thoughtful, well-developed response to the essay that EVALUATES OTHELLO AS A CRITICAL THINKER.
Use your notes from previous discussions and postings and Ruggiero’s Beyond Feelings. Consider such things as the assumptions (warranted or unwarranted, value) that underlie his thinking, the quality of the evidence he employs, his willingness to consider alternate explanations or possibilities, his ability to judge evidence, how well he acts like an individual, the plausibility of his conclusions and their validity as following logically from his premises, the degree to which (as Iago so often ironically counsels him and as his reputation suggests he is capable of) he controls his instincts with reason, whether he lets emotions guide his actions, how well he investigates issues, etc. In other words, evaluate him using all you have learned about critical thinking in the class.
You must include textual evidence (quotes and/or paraphrases) from the play.
Organization: Your paper must have an introduction and conclusion, of course, but strong essays will also have clear and effectively organized body sections. The organization is up to you, but it must make sense.
Audience: College undergraduates who know the play well; though they do not have a copy available. No need for plot summary at any point in the paper. However, tell us what is happening at the time of quotes provided. Do not introduce quotes with Act and Scene numbers. Instead, remind us what is going on: “When Iago goes to Desdemona to comfort her, he says . . .” Structure your paragraphs around argumentative claims stated in your topic sentences — don’t simply retell the story.
