Othello character casting

Othello:

"My services which i have done this signiory shall out-tongue his complaints." (38)

"which i, observing, took once a pliant hour to draw from her a rayer of earnest heart that i would all my pilgrimage dilate" (56)

i think i would choose Will Smith to play Othello, because he's black like othello and bald. Also because he's been in mostly action and romance movies and that's what Othello is all about. there is also a tiny bit of comedy in the book so will smith would do a good job with that.


Desdemona:

"To you i am bound for life and education; my life and education both do learn me how to respect you; you are the lord of duty; i am hitherto your daughter" (58)

"I saw Othello's visage in his mind, and to his honors and his valiant parts did i my soul and fortunes consecrate" (64)

For Desdemona i would choose Emma Watson because she seems like a trustworthy person like Desdemona, but also a strong willed woman also like Desdemona.

Iago:

"For, sir, it is as sure as you are Roderigo, were i the Moor , i would not be Iago. In following him, i follow but myself; heaven is my judge, not i for love and duty" (28)

"Though that his joy be joy, yet throw such [changes] of vexation on't, as it may lose some color." (28)

For Iago i would choose Johnny Depp, because in every movie he's been in he's been good at playing villians like Iago. when i picture Iago, i lso picture someone who looks like Johnny Depp, so he would be perfect.

Emelia:

"i will bestow you where you shall hve time to speak your bosom freely" (134)

"if it be not for some purpose of import, Give't me again. Poor lady, she'll run mad when she shall lack it" (160)

Emelia is cleraly obedient but she also is very opinionated and has a good head on her shoulders. for her i would pick Sandra Bullokc because she is a strong woman but also takes care of herself and knows what's rght.
