If I were to be Desdemona and Othello were to speak to me like he is speaking to her in this act, I would be truly affected and hurt. Especially in line 38 when he tells Desdemona that she is lying that she doesn't just belong to him. I know that Desdemona must of felt horrible because she is being told by the man that she has fallen in love with and has married against her father consent and now she is being treated like a dirty “whore” which he keeps calling her a whore to Emilia. Also I would feel betrayed and disgusted because he is asking other people if Desdemona or if I was Desdemona, was flirting with Cassio or having little secret between them. If I was Desdemona, I would defend myself as much as I could and also I would try to show that I have only been with Othello and no one else, I would try to find people that have been with me and then have them explain to him that I have had no sexually connection with Cassio or any other man. I would neither toss my wedding sheets on the bed nor walk out the door because I believe that if I were to toss the sheets on the bed, it would show evidence that I was a virgin when you had me but it is not enough to show that I am have been faithful to him. I would not leave neither because that can show that I am guilty which I am not so I would speak to him and if he would not listen or understand I would have someone close to me that he knows would not lie to speak to him the truth which I know would be a problem at this point because of all the lies that Iago has fed Othello about Desdemona having a affair. I don't think Desdemona has any choice then to stay and hope that everything cools down because she does not know what is being told to Othello which if I were in her shoes I would have tried to find out from Othello or people around him.

Brabantio’s reaction compared Leonato’s reaction is very different because Brabantio is upset at Othello because he says that Othello witched his daughter into marrying him and that if Othello didn’t use “drugs or minerals” his daughter would have not married him. He said was chained by magic into falling in love with. While Leonato was upset at his own daughter and was accusing his daughter of doing all those horrible things like cheating on her fiancé and that Claudio had the right to do that to her. Even if Hero was set up by don john and Claudio was lied to believe he had a slut as a fiancé. Brabantio defends his daughter and makes his daughter like she is the most innocent thing on earth that would never leave her safety of her home to run away and marry someone like Othello unless she was drug and Leonato thinks that his daughter is the biggest slut in the world even when Breatrice and Hero are pleading that Hero was innocent and did no such thing.
The similar thing that both fathers have are even if almost in the end Leonato thought his daughter did something disgusting he thought his daughter was innocent and she deserve the best man in the world and like Leonato, Brabantio feels the same that his daughter is the most precious thing in the world. The similar things that both father have for their sons-in-law are that Leonato accepted Claudio from the first night and got along with him and Brabantio also got along with Othello and would love to hear Othello stories. The difference is that Leonato didn’t change his view on Claudio even if he was embarrassed even if he did kind of change his view a bit when he found out the truth about don john plan. Brabantio change his views on Orthello the minute he found out what Othello and
Desdemona did, it went from love for one of his solider who fought very well or hate for a son-in-law who stole his innocent daughter and married her behind his back. These similarities and difference mean a father can feel the same about his daughter almost the same way but some times the daughter can do or be accused of doing something similar and the father can take it two different ways, one can see his daughter as a victim and the other see his daughter as something dirty and be ashamed of her.

I feel that Claudio is genuinely penitent because after falling in love with the woman of his dreams, he was brought to witness his fiancé having a affair with another man, I feel that he was embarrassed and it can be understood why he is acting the way he was because he had to act strong and I guess he also didn’t want to be considered a wuss that would marry a woman who has been with another man or men as how Don John made it seem. In act 5, Claudio is trying not to disrespect Antonio and Leonato because I feel that he feel a bit guilty about Hero’s Death because I feel that if Claudio felt angry at Hero and her family I would feel that he would be more harsher to everyone. Such as in act 5 scene 1 when Claudio says hello it seems to be very respectful. After Antonio and Leonato were out of sight he acts all tough and starts to make smart remarks about the older men which is all a act. I feel when Claudio was told what happened and how he was lied to I feel that he was relived because he was cheated on but also he felt horrible because he killed a innocent young woman that he loved because he was deceived by someone that was jealous of him, Claudio says when he was told about the plan “Sweet hero, now thy image doth appear. In the rare semblance that I loved it first” (5.1.220-221) and also when he went to Leonato to ask for forgiveness and to take revenge on him for being a fool and Leonato ordered him to mourn Hero death that night at her tomb and the next morning he would marry hero’s “cousin” which is really hero and when he see hero “cousin” he falls in love with her and even says that it feels like he has hero right there in front of him.
I think Claudio should get a second chance because it is understandable why he acted that way and any man would act that way if he think he got cheated on. I think he does deserves it because he is truly sorry and would do anything to have taken back everything he said or did to be with Hero at that moment.

Blog 3 "Should I Stay or Should I Go"

I do not know what to do, should I leave with my fellow partners or my so called friends and leave my love behind and leave her with sorrows. I know my friends will probably never speak to me again if I stay behind but then if I leave I might lose all hope that I will get her back. Right now I'm angry at myself and at my friends, I am angry at myself because I spoke so much nonsense and also how I would speak to other about be so love sick while I myself was love sick. I was just scared that I would be heart broken again if I would try to see someone else and that is what is holding me back from leaving. I should be a man and stay but I also have my duties as a friend to stand behind them because I know, well I hope I am right that if I found out the woman I was suppose to marry cheats on me I would feel betrayed and I would want to leave so I wont be reminded. Sometimes I do agree with what I told my man and my best friend Claudio that they should not fall to love that easily, like I did but then I am also happy that it happened with the right woman, I just feel bad for my friend or my men that have fallen in love with the wrong women that have just taken advantages of their heart. Right now half of me wants to stay or half of me feels that my rights are to leave with my friends/men.
