Match Up! 1

Desdemona. Alas the heavy day! Why do you weep? Am I the motive of these tears, my lord? If haply you my father do suspect An instrument of this your calling back, Lay not your blame on me: If you have lost him, Why, I have lost him too. Othello. Had it pleased heaven To try me with affliction; had they rain'd All kinds of sores and shames on my bare head. Steep'd me in poverty to the very lips, Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes, I should have found in some place of my soul. A drop of patience: but, alas, to make me A fixed figure for the time of scorn To point his slow unmoving finger at! Yet could I bear that too; well, very well: But there, where I have garner'd up my heart, Where either I must live, or bear no life; The fountain from the which my current runs, Or else dries up; to be discarded thence! Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads To knot and gender in! Turn thy complexion there, Patience, thou young and rose-lipp'd cherubin,— Ay, there, look grim as hell! Desdemona. I hope my noble lord esteems me honest. Othello. O, ay; as summer flies are in the shambles, That quicken even with blowing. O thou weed, Who art so lovely fair and smell'st so sweet That the sense aches at thee, would thou hadst ne'er been born! Desdemona. Alas, what ignorant sin have I committed? Othello. Was this fair paper, this most goodly book, Made to write 'whore' upon? What committed! Committed! O thou public commoner! I should make very forges of my cheeks, That would to   cinders burn up modesty, Did I but speak thy deeds. What committed! Heaven stops the nose at it and the moon winks, The bawdy wind that kisses all it meets Is hush'd within the hollow mine of earth, And will not hear it. What committed! Impudent strumpet! Desdemona. By heaven, you do me wrong. Othello. Are you not a strumpet? Desdemona. No, as I am a Christian: If to preserve this vessel for my lord From any other foul unlawful touch  Be not to be a strumpet, I am none. Othello. What, not a whore? Desdemona. No, as I shall be saved. Othello. Is't possible? Desdemona. O, heaven forgive us! Othello. I cry you mercy, then: I took you for that cunning whore of Venice That married with Othello. [Raising his voice]  You, mistress, That have the office opposite to Saint Peter, And keep the gate of hell! [Re-enter EMILIA]  You, you, ay, you! We have done our course; there's money for your pains: I pray you, turn the key and keep our counsel

You were my sun You were my earth But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no So you took a chance And made other plans But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no You don't have to say, what you did, I already know, I found out from him Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be And don't it make you sad about it You told me you loved me Why did you leave me, all alone Now you tell me you need me When you call me, on the phone Girl I refuse, you must have me confused With some other guy Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn To cry, cry me a river Cry me a river-er Cry me a river Cry me a river-er, yea yea I know that they say That somethings are better left unsaid It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it (Don't act like you don't know it) All of these things people told me Keep messing with my head (Messing with my head) You should've picked honesty Then you may not have blown it (Yea..) You don't have to say, what you did, (Don't have to say, what you did) I already know, I found out from him (I already know, uh) Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be (No chance, you and me) And don't it make you sad about it You told me you loved me Why did you leave me, all alone (All alone) Now you tell me you need me When you call me, on the phone (When you call me on the phone) Girl I refuse, you must have me confused With some other guy (I'm not like them baby) Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn (It's your turn) To cry, cry me a river (Go on and just) Cry me a river-er

Alas the heavy day! Why do

you weep? 
Am I the motive of these tears, my lord? If haply you my father do suspect 
An instrument of this your calling back, 
Lay not your blame on me: If you have lost him, 
Why, I have lost him too.

Now there's just no chance, there'll never be

And don't it make you sad about it

I hope my noble lord esteems me honest.

The damage is done

I know that they say

That somethings are better left unsaid

It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it

All of these things people told me

Keep messing with my head

I hope my noble lord esteems me honest.

You were my sun

You were my earth

Alas, what ignorant sin have I committed?

Girl I refuse, And don't it make you sad about it

By heaven, you do me wrong.

You don't have to say, what you did,

I already know

No, as I am a Christian: 
If to preserve this vessel for my lord 
From any other foul unlawful touch Be not to be a strumpet, I am none.

So you took a chance

And made other plans

No, as I shall be saved.

But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down

O, heaven forgive us!

And don't it make you sad about it

You told me you loved me. Now you tell me you need me

Girl I refuse, you must have me confused

With some other guy.

I choose the song "cry me a river" by Justin Timberlake. He is saying how the girl is telling him he needs him, and he wants him and is not true. He found out she was with someone else. He is trying to be tough and telling her that she is not her backup and he is done. She can cry anything she wants but it will not work with him. When I read the lyrics of this song, I can relate Othello’s feelings. He is really mad when he thinks Desdemona is cheating on him. He tries to look tough and strong. Inside he is going crazy. When he is telling Desdemona to back up he tells her she doesn’t need to cover it up, to stop being all nice and tell the truth. He also says that she is a false woman that tells him he loves him but it is not true. 

Example:

Othello: O, ay; as summer flies are in the shambles, 
That quicken even with blowing. O thou weed,

Who art so lovely fair and smell'st so sweet 
That the sense aches at thee, would thou hadst 
ne'er been born!

Song: You were my sun, you were my earth

Othello is talking about how she was his everything, she seemed she was no nice and kind but not of it was true. i match it up with "you were my sun, were my earth" she looked as she was the best but that was in the past, he uses were twice meaning no more.

Iago's Pesonality

Iago:

Iago is a confident person. When he talks he wants people to know he is always right and he knows everything. “I say, put money in thy purse.” He is telling Roderigo to bet on it, that he will help him and they will get good results. When Iago speaks, it feels he is always pretending and he want to make other people look bad, for him to look superior. He insult people, he is racist and doesn’t like anyone. “These Moors are changeable in their wills”. He says the moor will switch of woman easily, because that what all black guys do. Depending on the people he is with, he criticizes. I believe he criticize because he is unsecure about himself and criticizing helps him hide it. “Nay, it is true, or else I am a Turk:
 You rise to play and go to bed to work.” Most of the word he says is to make fun of people. Iago is a liar, and a hypocrite. 

People trust Iago, because he tell them what they want to hear. Depending who he is with, he acts different. He makes you feel important and that he is the key for success. For example with Roderigo he tells him he can help him, and he will get results. "It cannot be that Desdemona should long continue her love to the Moor". Iago says that to Roderigo to make him feel better, as if there was no problem. Iago wants to look as the hero and he says it in a way Roderigo feels comfortable and attached to him. He knows the words to say to make people think he is on their side, and they respect him. "when she is sated with his body, she will find the error of her choice" Iago tries to convince Roderigo that everything is going to get in his favor.

Character's of "Othello"

Othello got the Brabantio’s daughter Desdimona. Othello was not the best candidate for his dad eyes, he is different from the rest. He is not accepted by the society, it was not common to see this happen. Two distant races mixing, it was an impact for the society. Roderigo didn’t like Othello he wanted to have Desdimona, and Othello the moor has taken her.  Iago hates Othello too he is looking for revenge. He is mad because Othello gave him a bad job. When a new girl comes to school and she is different we tend to avoid her and criticize her just because she is different.

 Othello is an authority figure that’s why Iago can’t rebel against him. Othello is controlling Iago’s title (Work position). In this period having a title is what everyone seeks for. Iago couldn’t play with his, so he preferred stating closer. “Keep you friends close and your enemy’s closer”. when I don't trust someone, or I feel threaten by her or him I stay closer to avoid any problem.I don't consider them good friends but I'm friendly.

Reading how they describe Othello I expect him to be really different, and outcast from society. They describe him as a beast as if he couldn’t control himself. He is black with thick lips and tall. He transmits respect, that why Iago is nice and respectful when he is present. When I don't like someone I find all his or her defects and point them all out. I tend to exaggerate and make him or her the bad guy.

Small Script

Sofia, is the pretties girl in high school, she is a junior. She is in the Dance Team, and she is really smart. She is the girl that everybody would like to be friends  with and date. She has a lot of friends, but her two best friends are Andrew and Kate.

Alex is Sofia’s boyfriend. Alex play in the same soccer team, he is the team captain. He has a great body, and he is really popular around the school. Sofia and Alex are really in love and fateful with each other. They are dating even though Sofia’s family doesn’t approve because of their young age. 

Andrew is flirty boy that’s always in different relationships that last for only weeks. Andrew is a soccer player. Alex and him are good friends but, Alex doesn’t trust him, because of his history with woman.

Sofia’s best friend is named Kate. Kate is a nice girl, but she can get under your last nerve. She has always liked Alex, and she was angry when Sofia and him started dating. Kate is also really good friend with Alex. 

Kate

Hey Alex, how are you?

Alex:

I am good, thanks! You?

Kate:

Well, I’m good.

Alex

Are you sure you sound a little strange.

Kate

I don’t know if I can’t tell you.

Alex

Stop fooling around and just tell me.

Kate

It’s about Sofia

Alex

Is she okay?

Kate

 She is not how I’m concern of…its you!

Alex

WHY??

Kate

I don’t want you to get paranoid but I saw her really close with Andrew yesterday.

Alex

Yesterday? She told me they were studying for math.

Kate

mmm.. just telling you what I saw.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sofia

Hey babe how are you?

Alex

 Not great, they just told me something I didn’t like at all.

Sofia

What happen?

Alex

I heard you were really flirty and touchy with Andrew yesterday.

Sofia

You know that’s not true, I would never do that to you, I love you.   Andrew he is just a friend. Who told you that?

Alex

 Kate did, and she is your best friend.

Sofia

I can’t believe it! Are you serious? She would do anything for you to break up with me. You know she has been in love with you since we started dating.

Alex

 It was really shocking news, but is true I judge with out knowing. I’m sorry, I just went paranoiac for a second.

Sofia:

 I’m sorry too, and you know you can trust me.

Even though Alex is confident with himself, he was able to doubt about his relationship with Sofia. Jealousy between couples happens a lot and even more in a young age.
