Journal Entry 10.10.12

Today we watched the movie Othello. *Roderigo is very obsessed with Desdemona, and I don't think that she is aware of this. He will literally do anything for her and he tries to impress her very much. *It's hard to say whether Desdemona actually admires Cassio as it is evident that they share chemistry, but maybe later it will be more distinct that she doesn't like him. *Iago is very good at persuading others to do things that he wants them to do- very manipulative, he's very good at planning things out the way he wants in order for everything to get as planned. *You can definatley see how in the time, the colour of your skin was very much a direct representation of who you were, and Othello being a black man, he got many prejudices against him. *Another theme that has been evident is the theme of jealousy between Cassio and Iago and Roderigo and Othello. This jealousy causes many conflicts between other characters.
