Style
Explanation and Analysis:

Othello is written in a mix of blank verse and prose, with the style switching in accordance with the character and setting. Othello, for example, speaks in blank verse with an eloquence and  style that favors figurative language and has an elevated tone. The style of Othello’s speech slightly deteriorates by the end, with his syntax becoming more broken and frantic; however, the loftiness of his tone proves consistent.
