Othello
This week we are discussing Othello in class. It is a very interesting play, especially because at the time it took place… things were extremely different than today. Since I read this play when I was in high school, I kinda knew what it was about, but I had forgotten alot of the important parts in the play. One of the reasons why I had a hard time reading the play is because it is very difficult to understand Shakespeare’s language, but it doesn’t mean that I did not like the play. I thought it is a great play giving the message that jelousy can lead people to do something crazy, like killing your wife. Shakespeare’s plays always involve someone dying, which I think is why people like reading his plays, they are very dramatic. What I did not understand is why would he trust his “friend” more than his own wife? Desdemona was loyal and faithful.
