The process my group took into finishing up the script for our play on deception was time consuming. The things that I was responsible for got done. like  finishing up the last Act of the script. I had to go on sparknotes to get the sense that express our groups theme. Then I  copied and paste it to the Google Docs under the sections that I was responsible for. Everybody in my group put some working time on the script by reading, and going to sparknotes to copy and paste it to our Google Docs.

The success in our group was when it was time to deliver we did. Like for example, when the final script was do we did not talk or fool around. But instead we stayed in the class and did some reading and collaborating with one another to get an image of how the out come of the play was going to turn out. The difficult task in our group that is still not done is we do not have an opening for the play. The person responsible for the opening part of the play has been missing for some time so we do not have an opening for the play.

The editing methods we used was Will because he is the group’s manger.  He was going through an editing the script. The task that Will gave us as far as editing was to go back to our Google Doc and edited things out like for example, if we copied and paste a whole act from Othello we would get the most important thing from the act that highlights the message we are trying to send out to our audience. The reason why we had to edited a lot of things out was when we printed out our script it was about 28 pages.  We did not have enough time to act out a 28-page script in 7 minutes because we were only allowed 7 minutes to act out our theme.

My understanding about Othello is he is gullible. The reason why I think that is he believed all the lies that Iago was telling him about his wife. The other thing that puzzles me is that Othello is a suppose to be a military general and when I think about that military people are not that easy to crack. But Othello is supposed to be the person in charge but that was not the case. It seem that Iago was mad at Othello for not getting that lieutenant position. Which at the end cause Othello to lose everything like himself and him killing his wife.

        To get a better understanding of Othello I read a scholarly article on http://www.answers.com/topic/othello-play-7 titled Othello (Criticism) written by Andrews Henningfeld a English professor at Adrian College that writes about literature for educational publishers. Henningfeld writes “In believing himself welcome in Brabantio's home, he has also believed himself worthy of Brabantio's daughter..”  It seem everything was bond for destruction for Othello because Othello was not of the same race. He thought he can come into a society that operates differently and do as he please with no consequence because of his social status.

       In the play Othello the only person that was the smartest was the Duke because it says “Thus, the second reason that the duke recognizes Othello's marriage to Desdemona becomes clear. Venice needs Othello to go to Cyprus to quell the imminent danger from the Turks. Giving Othello a Venetian woman becomes a form of payment for Othello's service. Moreover, because Othello wants Desdemona with him, the duke is able to remove the rebellious element from Venetian society. He is able, in this move, to accomplish several goals: he can pay off the Moor in female flesh, a bargain for all the Venetians save Brabantio; he can protect his city-state from the Turks by sending the best soldier to lead the battle; and he can isolate Desdemona from other women of Venice who might be encouraged to form their own alliances with prospective husbands, thus depriving their fathers of their rightful marriage profits.”  The duke has no repayment for Othello and on top of that Desdemona’s father can not appeal the Duke’s will because the Duke is looked about of the person that makes the final decisions in important matters.
