3 Techniques

1. Foreshadowing: "If I do die before thee, prithee shroud me in one of these same sheets" (207). In Desdemona's speaking she mentions dying in her bed which relates back to when Iago and Othello were talking about killing her in her bed, which foreshadows a possible death for her.

2. Motif-cheating: The reason for men cheating is because of their wives and how they don't satisfy them, and the wives reason for cheating is because the men make them or drive them to cheating. None of them think that it is their own fault that they cheat on each other.

3. Syntax: The way Shakespeare decides to break up his lines is very interesting. He uses line breaks to separate thoughts in one sentence instead of a comma and sometimes he uses both. He usually uses long complicated sentences with a lot of commas but he also uses a few short sentences as well.
