THE PLAY UP TO ACT TWO

1. Opinions on the main characters
   
   I like the fact that every character have different personalities; evil people, idiotic people, proud people... Sometimes i find myself supporting Iago and his dirty plans. I don't now why but I WANT Iago to succeed. Othello can get into my nerves at times. He compliments Iago like he's the good guy! What, is he blind? Othello is really shortsighted.
   
2. Your thoughts on the story line
   
   I think some really big crap is going to happen soon. Iago's going to plot a plan that would destroy everyone. That's how it's going to end.

Initial Learning

1. Something you've found interesting so far
   
   Well, the teaching method of Mr. Martin's very helpful so far. His understanding of Shakespeare's language and emotions made it a lot easier for me as a student. As weird as he may look, his ridiculous-looking acts of certain confusing scene help give us a better illustration of the play, especially the fact that Shakespeare's language almost seemed alien to our understanding. The fact that we get to act out the whole play also urge us to understand the play better so that we don't make a fool out of ourselves while acting in front of Mr. Martin.

1. Anything you'd prefer to do instead
   
   For now, I think we need direction for our notes. The last time I checked someone's notes, it was completely different than mine. Maybe Mr. Martin could give us some examples in jotting down our notes, I don't know.
