ADV. Soph. English Journal Response 21

Othello by William Shakespeare (Journal Entry 1)
In Act One, Scene One of this play, the part with most importance was the part when Barbantio’s daughter has went missing along with Othello.  Iago and Roderigo seem to be the messengers of this tragic news.  The search for Othello and Barbantio’s daughter seemed to be set at the dawn of the next day.  Based on the text from this scene, there is a fairly large amount of “old English” involved along with how the characters communicate to each other.  It seems as if they use figurative language to convey their feelings about things such as the lost people in this scene.  Overall, I started reading the play with some difficulties regarding the use of language and how to get the gist of the characters intentions.
