Part A: Act II, scene II (Goodnight Desdemona)
Goodnight Desdemona by Ann-Marie MacDonald and Othello by William
Shakespeare are two historic plays. Although different in the production period, the two
are mastery playwriting pieces. In Act II, scene II of MacDonald’s Goodnight
Desdemona, Iago arrives with buckets of filth, which is significant to the scene and the
play’s plot. Concerning the dramatic features of the play, the act portrays Iago as visually
and odiferous as the marriage foul contaminator. Desdemona is better placed to act on her
wishes to become strong and adventurous, and she can deflect the allusions that Iago
targets in her direction. The bucket can be deduced to Iago's continuous brutality and
malice. It portrays the link that Iago makes between his past and present situation, which
signifies a demotion in the society from a loyal and trusted officer amongst generals to
becoming a person only permitted to carry excrement in buckets. Iago's action from this
scene causes jealousy in Desdemona, which causes her to perceive Constance as an evil
person who wants to snatch her man. The filth buckets are the plot development part that
portrays Iago's evil deed in the story. Filth signifies dirty things that are utilized to
symbolize dirty beliefs/ malice that Iago possesses. With his malice, Iago is focused on
spreading lies about people he loath, and characters like Desdemona get ensnared in his
trick. The scene is an illustration of parody that portrays Iago as the mastermind behind
the plot’s evils. Iago intends to spread filth and toxic lies to promote his motives. Hence,
