As I work on my Othello character analysis many things are coming to my mind.
First, my family is watching The Book Thief downstairs and I am reminded of War Horse. War not only affects those who are fighting. Many innocent are killed and hurt in the process. War is ugly, one day there will be peace on this Earth and I will look towards Christ when that happens. until then, I pray for all those who are affected by violence and war.
Second, anyone who says that Desdemona is a weak character or that Emilia has little purpose needs to reread Othello. These women in this play are very loyal and strong characters. To the point where both of them accept death instead of lying and wavering. That to me is beyond strong.
Third, tomorrow I will get on a plane and fly across the pond to England and France. I am beyond happy and cannot wait to see these amazing paces. I will have to tell more when I return.
For now: Love all, Trust few, Do wrong to none.
-A
