Question
This writer claimed that Edmund Kean’s “tawny” performances in Othello were “like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning.” For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this writer who praised Othello for opening with a “dupe” on whom a villain “exercises his art.” This writer described one of Iago’s soliloquies as “the motive-hunting of motiveless malignity.”
ANSWER: Samuel Taylor Coleridge
[10e] Coleridge argued that Iago’s “superhuman art,” rather than this concept, drives Othello to kill Desdemona. Iago warns that this concept is a “green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.”
ANSWER: jealousy [or word forms like jealous]
[10m] Coleridge’s view of Iago as “motive-hunting” influenced this critic’s argument that Othello is a noble figure. L. C. Knights’s essay “How Many Children Had Lady MacBeth?” mocks this critic’s book Shakespearean Tragedy.
ANSWER: A. C. Bradley [or Andrew Cecil Bradley]
