Literature Paper 3 - Bonus Bites - The motif of light and dark in 'Othello'
Apr 15, 2024
The BGS English Department

In our Bonus Bites episodes, we explore a single theme, idea, or motif in a short lecture. These are not exemplar essays. Rather, you should think of them as ideas you could transplant into different essays that you write—especially if you are tackling the whole text question.

Don't forget to download the handout here.

The following lecture is an excerpt from Alexander G. Gonzalez’s essay ‘The Infection and Spread of Evil: Some Major Patterns of Imagery and Language in Othello (1985). I will read the lecture, quoted below, and talk you through how you might be able to use this in an extract or a whole text essay.
