Woo Hoo Shakespeare

Othello is hands down the best literary work we have learned and studied all year long. At first, I was intimidated because of the language it is spoken in; however, it turned out to work in my favor. Although reading Shakespeare can be difficult at times, it is never hard to understand. The basic story line is always easily comprehended, and the characters mostly have raw, basic emotion. There is no extremely complicated analysis required because the characters act on how they feel. Sure, the villain always has their evil schemes in which they have every aspect planned out, but for the most part, the concept of the plot can be easily understood. I am glad we are reading another Shakespearean play! It is a great alternative to poems that go straight through my head.
