Commentary on Iagos speech

My main preparation for my speech was reading up to and including the Iago’s speech. Initially I didn’t read past it, as I didn’t want to confuse myself by knowing the out come of Iago’s plan. Also Iago wouldn’t have known whether or not his plan was to succeed; so by doing this I am attempting to get into the character of him. Next I studied the text closely in order to learn as much about Iago and how his mind works as possible. This was done so that I am fairly capable of thinking how Iago would to aid me when writing my speech and preparing me for questions from the audience. Another advantage of doing this is that I can attempt to use the same type of language and sentence structure as he would.

I decided that it would be best for me to word process this piece because this way I could alter and amend the font and layout so that it is as easy as possible to read. I purposefully used a large font so that it would be easy to read from and I wouldn’t stumble upon any difficult to read words, thus hindering my fluency.

So I knew undoubtedly when to pause for the end of a paragraph I had 2 lines between each along with a bullet point so I could see when one started and 1 ended.

Subsequently I read the speech in the book out loud to myself a few times to familiarize myself with it. The same was done with my justification. By doing this it will mentally prepare me so that I feel more confident and comfortable when reading to an audience.

The speech is placed right at the end of Act 1. It concludes the act and definitely sets the plot of the entire play. This pivotal speech informs the audience of the basic story line, gives them a sense of knowing and makes them feel part of the play. Everything that happens ...
