Jealousy

Otello Blog 2

Unfortunately, my optimism present in the first blog is now starting to turn in pessimism. During the last class, I worked with my group members on the criteria by which the lines need to be identified. Essentially, we realized that the passages that we pick up have to make sense once they will be part of our actual script. However, that’s not the reason why I am not confident anymore about the outcome of this project. The point is that I looked up on the google document the lines my partners chose, and, as far as I can tell, they are not related to jealousy, which of course is our theme, or very important for the plot. Furthermore, they are simply meaningless because they consist in just a few sentences with no context at all. In addition, the final script is due tomorrow, day during which Mithun will not be in class. Therefore I am not going to be able to talk to him directly. I already told him about what needs to be done, but so far there is just one line “done” in his section. Fortunately, Naadir has almost completed all the lines he has to do. I went over them, and he is doing a great job. Still, on Monday we eventually decided to present the project as a video. Mithun will take care of that later on, when everything will be ready. Anyway, while reading the book over and over to catch some passages that I probably missed, I figured out how everyone realized what kind of person Iago is just after he killed his wife Emilia. 

Othello Blog #1

My group consists of myself, Briana, Cameron and Brittany. So far we have created our google doc, color coded our document and assigned lines. We have also all started put lines on the document and have talked about how we will present our lines or play to the class. It hasn’t been that hard so far. Everyone has just taken on there part and has been working every hard or it seems to me like they are on getting in their lines. I think that everyone is performing as we all expected that each other would. So far we haven’t tried to edit together all of our parts but we have all made the effort to pick out the important parts that go with our theme from our assigned parts of the play. I feel like I am understand the play more and the plot but I’m not to sure if our theme is helping me deepen my understanding I think it is just me reading and rereading my scenes but I think as I keeping reading and finding more and reading everyone else’s it will help me in the end.
