when othello arrives, greets his wife, and announces that there will be celebration that evening to celebrate Cyprus’s safety from the Turks. once alone Roderigo goes to Iago to complain that there is no chance of of breaking up Othello's marriage. . Iago assures Roderigo that as soon as Desdemona loses interest in othello she will seek pleasure elsewhere because it is only natural. However, Iago tells him that he thinks that Desdemona likes Cassio. Iago convinces Roderigo that he should ruin cassios name by starting a fight with him at the party. In a soliloquy, Iago explains to the audience that taking Cassio out of the picture is the first crucial step in his plan to ruin Othello. on the night of the party, Iago gets Cassio drunk and then sends Roderigo to start a fight with him. Apparently provoked by Roderigo, Cassio chases Roderigo across the stage. Governor Montano attempts to hold Cassio down, and Cassio stabs him. Iago sends Roderigo to raise alarm in the town.

The next day when in Cyprus, two men stand on the shore with Montano, the governor of Cyprus. A third gentleman joins them to report that the Turkish fleet has been destroyed in a storm at sea. Cassio on board of one of the ships, were lucky and did not suffer the same fate as the Turkish fleet, arrives soon after, followed by a another ship that did not suffer the same fate as well, ship carrying Iago, Roderigo, Desdemona, and Emilia, Iago’s wife. Once they have landed, Othello’s ship is sighted, and the group goes to the dock. As they wait for Othello, Cassio greets Desdemona by taking hold of her hand. Watching them, Iago enters a colloquy that he will use “as little a web as this” hand-holding get revenge on Cassio.

Brabantio’s plan backfires. the duke give othello a chance to speak.  Given a chance to speak for himself, Othello explains that he earnd her love, not by the things barbantio is accusing him of  but with the stories of his adventures in travel and war. The duke finds Othello’s explanation convincing, and Desdemona herself enters at this point to defend her choice in marriage and to tells to her father that her loyalty is now to her husband. Brabanzio is frustrated, but takes his leave and allows the senate meeting to resume. The duke says that Othello must go to Cyprus to help in the struggle between the Turks, who are headed for the island. Desdemona insists that she joins her husband on his trip, and preparations are made for them to depart that night.

iago, preteneding to be othellos faithful supporter, warns othello that barbantion will attempt to breack up the marrige. othello is confident that his service to venice and his noble descent will amke all well. cassio arrives on an urgent mission from the duke to find othello he reports that war is imminent and the senate urgently needs othello. iago tells cassio of othello's marriage. barbantio abuses othello and physically threatens him. he accuses othello of enchanting desdemona with bad magic and drugs, and orders his arrest. othello reacts calmly. barbantio is certain that the duke will decide in his favour. and thats the end of scenne 2. so the thing that just happened is barbatio is now coming after othello to take his daughter back. and othello is then asked for his help in some kind of war.

othello

so i am finally at the point of my blogs where i am going to talk about the plot of Othello. its kind of hard to understand the old English in that book. but once you get to know what the words means its actually a good play. so here we go:

act 1 scene 1
Venice a street a night

so the book starts out with Roderigo and Iago arguing about something. Roderigo accuses of Iago cheating him. Iago on the other hand is angry about failing to get the promotion over a person named Micheal Cassio. Iago continues to complain about "the moor"(Othello) and his promotion selection. says he pretends to be a faithful officer, but follows Othello only to serve his own purposes. Iago suggests a way of taking revenge against Othello , they shout in the street out Barbantio's(Desdemona's father) house and tell him the news that he has been robbed (Othello took Desdemona's hand in marriage in secret). Barbantio suspects the two men are drunk. he learns Roderigo's name but not Iago's. Iago obscenely tells him that Desdemona and Othello ARE HAVING SEX. He also says that their babies will be animals. Roderigo tell Barbantio that Desdemona has run away to live with Othello. Barbantio leaves to check his home to see if the story is true, he states that he has already seen this happen in his dreams. Iago slips away, not wishing to be identified as a trouble maker. Barbantio discovers his daughter is indeed missing. he goes off with Roderigo to seek assistance from neighbours and the police.

AND THEN THATS THE END OF ACT 1 SCENE 1

-i know this is my second blog today and i think I'm done with my fillers actually. even thou there were only like two of them. but still. so today i ran a marathon almost. the stupid people from Vern's wouldn't give my fries that i ordered at 11:45 and was told they would be done in 5 minutes. i got them at 12:05 our entry bell rings at around 12:00 to come back to school from lunch. and i don't know if you know how far away Vern's is from our school, but, on foot it is actually quite lengthy. i literally was running as fast as i could, slipped and almost fell three times. barged the classroom with fries and pop in my hand. and a fat jacket on my back felt like idiot, but i still made it on time, from Vern's to school in two minutes. so anyways i think in my next blog i am going to start explaining the play Othello and you know just like giving you guys a summary of the book. but in this blog i think i will introduce the characters.

so here you go

1. -Othello 
2. -Desdemona 
3. -Iago 
4. -Micheal Cassio
5. -Emilia
6. -Roderigo
7. -Bianca
8. -Brabantio
9. -Duke of Venice
10. -Montano
11. -Lodovico
12. -Graziano
13. -Clown

those are the character that are through out the book. i only know who they are because I've read ahead a little just so that in class i understand it better. and don't feel dumb. so see you next time, when i let the summaries begin(I'm not going to do the whole book summary in one go)

again moving away from my filler blogs, i just don't want to forget what i was going to write. so yesterday i had a science quiz. i only got like 20 minutes of studying, and we had to know what all the cells organs did in a animal and plant cell. i thought i was going to fail. but i guess i surprised myself. guess what i got? give up, ok , ill tell you i got 100%. i was so happy. i was like yaaaaaaaaaaaay!. oh and today wasn't a very good day for me. first i had a social quiz on everything i learned so far in social. i didn't do so bad on the multiple choice question. but what just killed me was written response. the reason i think i did so bad was because 1. i didn't know how to relate the two together according to my analysis of the two sources we were given to analyze 2. I'm the kind of guy that need to be isolated with no noise to think and i have to be chill(coldish), and i just couldn't focus when i was analyzing the sources. and the fact that i couldn't pick out the fact that Keynes and Friedman economics were in the sources, i mean if you just plain out told me that this is Keynes and this is Friedman i would have argued the shit out of that thing. i walked out of that computer lab with steam coming out of my ears. i was so angry.  from now on I'm actually going to get into the habit of studying.
