Response #3 Othello III-V

-ACT III; Scene 3 -The Handkerchief scene

This music gradually builds and then gets really intense, then towards the ends it calms a bit. It works with the scene because it takes a while before everyone gets frazzled over this hankerchief, once it occurs a lot emotions are evoke. The end result is to plot revenge so them calms down for a bit.

-ACT III; Scene 4 - Cassio & Bianca

The lyrics says it all. Cassio takes Bianca for fool and no matter happens she will still cater to him even after her speculations of foul play.

-ACT V; Scene 2- Desdemona's death

This music sets the mood that something bad and everlasting is going to happen. It has a sad tone. This goes well with the fact that Othello kills Desdemona and then takes his own life. Truly not a happy ending for anyone.
