Blog Post 20 - Quote-Response

I have to say, after viewing the different versions of Othello on  U-tube, I believe that the 1950's version was much more realistic to me.  I didn't like the other versions, they seemed to fake.  The older version was much more realistic in perhaps how I interpreted the play.  My favorite quote from scene III is, "But jealous for they're jealous.  It is a monster begot upon itself, born on itself (Shakespeare 156, 157).  It was cruel for Iago to plant such a seed of jealousy onto Othello.  Emilia, who was quoted above, is the only person able to see exactly what had taken place. She was the only person able to clearly make decisions without the emotional attachment that was involved in this Shakespearean play.
