Othello Video Reactions

Videos representing a literature are great ways to show sneak peeks, quick summaries, and important scenes about the story. The you tube music video "Othello," used the song "Mr. Bright Side" which was a great song. The song says things like, "started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this," which relates to the two individuals in love and die because of tragedies. The song also uses words like jealousy, destiny, and ego, which are common themes used throughout the actual story of "Othello." The music video was very entertaining as well as informative about the story at the same time. Iago's monologue was also very informative but in a different way. Whereas the music video was about the whole movie, the monologue stated just one characters feelings and motives. It really proves the point and shows how evil Iago is in the story "Othello." Video's and monologues are two great ways to highlight specific details and parts in a story.

Trifles Reaction

Plays are a very interesting type of literature. One very interesting, yet eerie play is "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell. In this play there is a murder in a farm house in Iowa. The main character, Mrs. Wright, very awkwardly and unconcerned tells the sheriff her husband is dead upstairs, when he asks, as she laughs. It is very odd that her husband dies from a rope around his neck, sleeping right next to her, and she doesn't even wake up. From the way she is acting in the reading and the video, it is clear she is the one that murdered him.

The woman in the play find a box with a bird in it while they are looking for something else in Mrs. Wright's kitchen. The bird has a broken neck and it seems like a metaphor to her husband having a broken neck. The bird scene in the play was slightly disturbing as well as sad. The play, "Trifles" by Glaspell was a very intriguing and slightly disturbing play.
