This week has been very interesting. Tuesday we discussed or opinions on Plato which is about Socrates (Plato was his student) and how he has ruined the children’s lives by placing fallacies in their minds. Socrates was a great philosopher and at that time people thought he was a liar and a deranged man, that just because he was different he was put to dead.
At the end of this week we began reading Othello and his also began shedding some light about Shakespeare’s meanings in his plays. Othello was considered the other in this story he is very easy to pick out of the story, because Desdemona’s father doesn’t like him because he’s black and he thinks he stole his daughter and many other things, and I am sure that more things are to be unraveled by the end of this play. But in a way I kind of think that Iago is sort of an outsider too but he is deviant in his doings, he is always trying to stir something up.

I agree with your ending statements here about Iago. I say this because there is no way that we can say Othello is the only outsider, yes he is hated but he is also trying to tare them apart. If Iago is to be considered an outsider it is because Othello is forcing him to believe that he is an outsider. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens in Act 2! Have a great weekend and see you in class!
