What aspects or general themes from Cinthio’s Hecatommithi would make an interesting adaptation into Othello on stage?
I think it would have been interesting to watch Ensign’s deceit as Othello progresses. In particular, the scene that would have been great to watch is the scene where the Captain discusses Disdemona with Ensign, while the Moor is conveniently placed in location where he is able view their conversation taking place. If this scene was to be adapted into Othello on stage, I imagine Shakespeare utilizing an aside, so the Moor is able to share his thoughts to the audience. This would be the perfect time for the Moor to display his hatred toward the Captain and his wife. It would also be noteworthy if the audience is able to get an overview of Ensign’s jealously towards the Moor
Predict what ending do you think Shakespeare chose - Othello kills self or is killed by torture after banishment
I think Shakespeare chose the ending where Othello commits suicide
