WOS:

Today:
O Beware of Jealousy: Passion and jealousy in the sonnets.  We examined the following sonnets: 40, 57,61,87.  For each I tasked you with examining the lines and words that are connected to passion and jealousy.  We had a class discussion on this. We connected these two emotions to the play.

We read act III sc 2-3

HW:  Please read Cinthio's Tale, the original story that Shakespeare based the play Othello on.  Please do not read the last two pages to avoid ruining the dramatic ending of the play.  Please be prepared to discuss whether Shakespeare stole the story, or was inspired by it.
