He is incredibly manipulative throughout the play and uses the characters around him to further his motives.]]> 2022-10-31 12:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberlyallison/1rkbx3cxuv4xsbct/wish/2363234050 https://padlet.com/kimberlyallison/1rkbx3cxuv4xsbct/wish/2363235111 The Elizabethan Era was known as a time in English renaissance that inspired classical ideas, expansion, and triumph. Shakespeare was regarded as one of the best writers during this era. During this time reading and writing was becoming more prominent as well as advances in education. However this era wasn't all positive, during this era, beer or ale was safer to drink than water. Society as a whole during this time was quite a bit more barbaric, as a lot of children were disciplined very harshly. A lot of our morals that we keep now would not align or agree with the morals they had back then.]]> 2022-10-31 12:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberlyallison/1rkbx3cxuv4xsbct/wish/2363235111 Nathaniel Ramirez, Misael Miranda, and Devin Patterson https://padlet.com/kimberlyallison/1rkbx3cxuv4xsbct/wish/2363236195 2022-10-31 12:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberlyallison/1rkbx3cxuv4xsbct/wish/2363236195 Angela's Side note https://padlet.com/kimberlyallison/1rkbx3cxuv4xsbct/wish/2363243856 Throughout the play Iago often clouds why he exactly hates Othello not giving any specific reason to the other characters or the audience. However, it is clear that Shakespeare and Iago’s actor use sarcasm and dramatic irony with the audience for Iago to become the plays comic relief.]]> 2022-10-31 13:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberlyallison/1rkbx3cxuv4xsbct/wish/2363243856 Shakespeare legacy https://padlet.com/kimberlyallison/1rkbx3cxuv4xsbct/wish/2363246246 The majority of people recognize Shakespeare for his literature work and impact he has on theater. Shakespeare wrote  more than 30 plays and over 150 sonnets, his work is studied in schools, used as learning material, and continues to influence the film/ movie industry. Through his work, Shakespeare set the blueprint for what we recognize today as literature art with his timeless themes and famous plays such as Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Hamlet.

This man, Othello, came to this conclusion due to the manipulation from his soldier, Iago. Othello's lesser soldier, Iago, had decided to become full of envy after Othello gave another soldier, Cassio, a role that he desired. This envy and jealousy drove Iago to do anything he could to get back at Othello, even lie and brainwash. This manipulation drove Othello to eventually kill his wife by smothering, and then himself after he became grief stricken.]]> 2022-10-31 13:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberlyallison/1rkbx3cxuv4xsbct/wish/2363248935 Yes, it wasn't all completely good at all!
