Othello:
Quotes: "Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them. Good signor, you shall more command with years than with your weapons" (23). "She loved me for the dangers I had passed, and I loved her that she did pity them" (39).
Who: Will Smith
Why: I chose Will Smith because he can play a brave man and also a man who could be madly in love with someone and become crazed with jealous and rage.
Desdemona:
Quotes: "She gave me for my pain a world of sighs" (39). "Of years, of country, credit, everything, to fall in love with what she feared to look on!" (35).
Who: Melissa Joan Hart
Why: Melissa can play a person you is sweet and kind but also someone who is passionate and loving.
Iago:
Quotes: "I have told thee often, and I retell thee again and again, I hate the Moor. My cause is hearted; thine hath no less reason. Let us conjunctive in our revenge against him" (53). "...but partly led to diet my revenge for that I do suspect the lusty Moor..." (77).
Who: Scar in the Lion King as a man.
Why: I think Scar would make an excellent Iago because he is very deceiving and manipulative, his character would fit Iago perfectly.
Emilia:
Quotes: "I am glad I have found this napkin. This was her first remembrance from the Moor" (133). "And give't Iago. What he will do with it heavens knows, not I; I nothing but to please his fantasy" (133).
Who: Anna Hathaway
Why: I chose Anna because she is really good at playing a sweet innocent girl who is naive, but wants to please others.
Comment:
Nicholas Cage is one of my favorite actors and if he was black he would make a great Othello so I agree with you on that one.
