Othello Film reflection and paraphrase

1. Paraphrase Iago's lines: 2.3.336 - End of Scene

Remember, A paraphrase is putting the language into everyday words without changing the meaning. Do not summarize. You need not paraphrase Roderigo's lines.

2. Comparative film analysis: 

How, specifically, were the two versions of the scene different? You can find both versions online. 

Othello (1995)Amazon Prime

Othello (Globe)- 51:06 - 1:09:29 Othello Globe if you watch this one talk about how Iago is played differently. Why do you think the actor/director chose to play him this way?
