Guys,
I've just realized you had nowhere to post the assignment I gave you last week. You can post them here, in the comments. And please don’t just copy and paste from the internet.
See you next week.

Othello
ResponderExcluir“Othello, the Moor of Venice” (often shortened as “Othello”) is a story that revolves around betrayal and envy. It starts when Othello, a Venice general, promotes Cassio as his lieutenant, instead of Iago, which was hoping to be promoted instead. Because of this, he promises to get revenge on both using Desdemona, the daughter of the Venetian senator Brabantio, and with whom Othello is secretly married.
The plan starts after Othello is posted to Cyprus by the Duke of Venice. Iago escorts Desdemona there, along with his own wife, Emilia. There, Iago manages to get Cassio drunk, and makes Roderigo - a former suitor of Desdemona, and that agreed to help Iago hoping he can win Desdemona back - pick a fight with him. This makes Cassio get arrested and, as a consequence, he is demoted.
With one part of the plan accomplished, Iago starts to manipulate Desdemona and Cassio so Othello starts to doubt her fidelity. This includes making them chat so Iago can tell Othello that they're having an affair, and manipulating a handkerchief in such manner that it seems that Desdemona gave it to Cassio.
The rest of the story? Only reading it all ;)
