How are gender roles represented in the play?
Women are seen as pawns in Iago's game - they are simply seen as property. Even though the main goal is to hurt Othello, it is at the women's expense.
Although the women are naive about Iago’s plan, they are aware of the gender dynamics within society, and they exhibit a certain amount of power both in their awareness, as well as in their discussions about how the men in their lives treat and perceive them. While they are victims, the women defy many norms and expectations, and hold considerable power, even in their deaths.

What evidence does Iago use to make Othello jealous?
He tells Emilia to steal the handkerchief to frame Cassio
When Othello is gone at war, Iago tells him that Cassio and Desdemona were getting too close.
Who said this quote?
"No, Iago, I’ll see before I doubt." (3.3.)
Here, Othello asserts his faith in Desdemona and his refusal to be suspicious of her without due cause. The quote shows that Othello does love his wife and does not want to think ill of her. However, Othello’s faith in Desdemona also opens the door for Iago to give Othello seeming “proof” of Desdemona’s infidelity. Because Othello is resistant to believing in Desdemona’s guilt, Iago has more fuel to persuade him.
How does Othello's perception of himself change throughout the play?
At the beginning, he is confident and proud of his accomplishments as a general. However, as the play progresses and he becomes more consumed by jealousy and suspicion, he begins to doubt himself and his worthiness of Desdemona's love.

Explain this quote:
"your son is far more fair than black"
The Duke is essentially saying that if virtue is beauty, then Othello is beautiful, not black; suggesting black is ugly.
What does Desdemona's relationship with Othello reveal about her character?
Othello's Desdemona can be seen as representing several ideas in the play, including innocence and the good possibilities in society. Othello's race does not matter to her, nor do the rules of class: she is willing to flout them all to be with the man she loves.
