wait for it....

This is an intense, suspensful play. One of Shakespeare's best, i must say. THe suspense comes form several places, the main one being how are people going to react to Iago's crazy excuses and plans. Well up to this point, everything is going how he had wanted. But with shakespeare, we all know that continualrity does not last forever. so the suspense comes from the point which of his next ideas is going to fail? which one will finally be the one that does not last it? I have a feeling we will find out in act 5, becasue even with shakespeare, the smart evil guy never wins.

Theme

Shakespeare is the master at twist endings. So far, up until act 4, the only theme i can think of is trust your spouse over others. Aside from that, there really is no obvious theme so far. But SHakespeare has something up his sleeves i'm sure. We jsut ahve to wait till the very end of the play to find out what it is he is hiding. Desdemona and everyone else knows that her virtue and loyalty are sound, but Othello is blinded by hurt and fear. THe only really concrete theme i can think of is fear clouds the mind which blocks the love fro mthe heart. And in my life, this is extremely true. If ot wasn't, i would not be in a worsening depression.

Deja Vu

Wow talk about irony. Funny how the world works. This story is happening in my life right now! in my life i am desdemona, and my now ex girlfried is othello. a so called "friend"of mine stabbed me in the back and lied to her, telling her i was cheating on her, and then tried and succeded in stealing her from me. The love of my life accused me of cheating, and did slap me. wow there are so many similarities! i cant believe it! i love that girlwith all my heart, but she ignores me and beleives someone else over me. irnoy... how i loathe thee. Love is all that matters in life, and when it is ripped from your chest and fingers, from the girl i even proposed to, just so i can watch her go out, hold hands with, laugh with, and accept the jacket from the guy i wish to strangle, well quite frankly i applaud Desdemona for attempting in taking him back. I tried with all my effort to win back the heart of my beloved, but alas... my efforts have been in vain... she ignores my every thought, and slowly i dip deeper in the numbing fingers of depression. truely Shakespeare was a genius, for he speaks to me centuries after he has departed from the world... i wonder how this play, and my life's eternal struggle will end?
