Hey guys, I am wondering what are the best and successful methods to studying for a mostly generic Othello essay which will be circulated in two weeks? I believe mostly themes, characters and language is very significant in the essay (including importance quotes). Also, what kinds of generic Othello questions could my teacher throw at me?

Is this comparative study?

Journeys, and it is purely an Othello-based essay, not a comparative study two or more texts.

Examples:

Race vs Notion of Overcoming Obstacles
- How does Othello overcome the obstacles of racism?

Order vs Chaos vs Individuals themselves changing
- How does Othello himself change after being infected by 'the green eyed monster'?
