Cast for Othello

Othello: I'd cast Denzel Washington because he'd be good as a main character role and he looks strong and important like othello should look. I chose these two quotes because I think that they show how he is very noble and confident in himself and his feelings.
"If you do find me foul in her report, The trust, the office I do hold of you Not only take away, but let your sentence even fall upon my life"
"I love Desdemona, I would not my unhoused free condition Put into circumscription and confine For the sea's worth."

Iago: I'd cast Vin Diesel as Iago because he looks like he could be a nice guy on the outside and he's strong so that's good for the fact that he's in the military. And Iago is very tricky so I don't think he should look too evil on the outside. I chose the first quote because the word poisonous sort of reminds me of his sinister personality and his plotting and how he can't let go of his hatred it "gnaws" at him. and the second because it describes how hes tricky and deceitful.
"the thought whereof doth, like a poisonous mineral, gnaw my innards"
"Knavery's plain face is never seen till used"

Desdemona: I would cast Keira Knightley. I think she just looks like how I would picture desdemona. I chose the first quote because she sort of stands up for herself a little more than other women in the story she's a bit more independent and fierce. I chose the second to illustrate that she's also very loving and caring and sensitive shes very in tune to othello and his feelings and obviously cares a lot for him.
"Do not learn of him Emilia, though he be thy husband"
"Let me but bind it hard, within this hour it will be well..."

Emilia: For Emilia I would cast Zooey Deschanel because I think Emilia would have kind of dark hair and she should be sort of quiet and I think you could give her sort of a plain look. I chose the first quote to show that she is very submissive and not a very strong personality so far and the second to show that although she kind of goes along with Iago and she's a pushover she's not really an evil person.
"I nothing but to please his fancy"
"if it not be for some purpose of import, givet me again. Poor lady, she'll run mad when she shall lack it"
