The performance that I chose that really caught my attention was when Othello and Desdemona were speaking and he slapped Desdemona in act 4. I found this small scene to be more significant when I saw it in performance in Othello portrayed by with Michael Fishbourne. When reading the book you can see that scene is emotional because of the words written. But in the movie, I was surprised how emotional Desdemona was and her face reaction. In the performance, you see Desdemona cry which in my perspective is a critical point in the scene. Looking at her cry makes the atmosphere of the whole play change because in my perspective I believe her character changes to a strong lovable women into a fragile character. Once Othello slaps her my perception of him in a way downgrades because in my eyes slapping women is nonsense, it doesn’t make you a man. I agree with this because throughout the play Othello is known to be a strong leader who loves his wife but slapping her changes everything. In the performance, you can see the anger in his face and the pain of knowing that Desdemona is deceiving him. Othello’s rage also marks his descent into savagery; ironically, he becomes the passion-stirred, beast that people accused him of being because of his race, of being a Moore. Othello then launches into a frenzy towards  Desdemona. His tone is bitter and angry, although Desdemona cannot deduce what he is talking about. At this point Desdemona doesn’t know what Othello is talking about. Watching this scene on picture was way better, I found it more interesting and it kept me entertain throughout the whole process. Michael Fishbourne did a great role and gave the character Othello a more aggressive outlook which I think fit that scene.
