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.

Blog 2 "how Benedick really feel"

I think that Benedick feels something else then what he says and acts like. I really think he still has feeling still for Beatrice but I think he tries to lie to himself and says he thinks she is annoying and as he says in she is a “rare parrot-teacher’ in act 1 scene 1. I noticed that he still had feelings for Beatrice when he over heard Claudio, Leonato, and Don Pedro speak about how Beatrice still loved him and is only playing a game to make Benedick to feel that she only feels hatred towards him but she is dying for his love. After the skirmish of wit I think he felt a bit hurt because he would have never thought that Beatrice would speak about him like that, but he thinks that Beatrice didn't recognize him but she did and that is why she spoke like that to like pick at him and get on his nerves.

Before leaving to warI will be leaving soon and I don't know how I feel about her, should I still care for her or should I just forget her and if she crosses my path I ignore her or just act rude, I feel confused and I don't know how she will feel if I lose my life during this war and she probably never know how I feel about her, will she might hate me because he would think I don't love her or even feel anything towards her, but then if I act like I don't care, I will only be lying to myself but then I don't look like a love sick puppy to my friends or people around me. I don't know what to do and I wonder if she feels the same. I hope I live through this war and be able to find out the truth

Evening of Act 1I cant believe she did that, how can she just speak like that about me to other people. I wonder what she has told others and the lies she probably has spread about me. I cant believe I felt something for that, that I don't know what to call her, my brain is running crazy right now with different thoughts. I cant stand see her face at this moment. Why would she say that? Why would she say that to me even if she didn't know it was I that she was speaking to and she thought I was someone else? She hates me that much? I wish I never met her or even maybe love her in my heart? Now I know what I need to do or even feel. Right now I must not let anyone know that still wanted her even before I left to war. I must now go somewhere to cool down and when I do cool down I will write down more thoughts.

I think that Shakespeare’s personal circumstances such as where he lives reflected on his writing because he speaks about in his plays sorrow, being heart broken, but also he would write about things that were happening to him or to those around him that he would witness to, in the movie when he was writing Romeo and Juliet, he would write about what was happening between him and viola or the feelings he felt about viola were described in his writing for the play Romeo and Juliet. The clothes he would wear or people from his town would be the way his characters would be dressed but only in a similar way not totally the same. I also think people around him would reflect on his writing because in one scene of the movie when William isn’t sure his play will be about, he speaks to Christopher Marlowe or as many called him “kit”, who gave actually gave Will the plot of Romeo and Juliet and gave him the idea of the love story other than the comedy he was suppose to be writing. Also the actors in his play would express how they felt about the play and also how they felt about their own part in the play in which William would try to fit in their concerns and what not in the play such as the character that ben Affleck is playing who is always complaining about his character not being in the scenes enough in which gives William ideas about what would happen to the character a bit more.
In the movie his rank is very low in which he writes about in his plays. William is a actor and a commoner, which means William has to sell his material to theater owners, which I think is funny because William would play games with these men, he would have the owners give him the money and whoever he felt was worthy enough to have his play would get the material while the other would lose the money that he gave to William. In which one of the owner was actually Rosaline husband, who is the woman that William is having a affair with and is probably having affairs with the whole town by the look of some of the scene. Also his rank actually gave William ideas for his play like for example in Romeo and Juliet he writes about how both families were enemies and Romeo and Juliet were not to see each other even if they were in love and this plot had reflected on how William was not to come near Viola because she was to marry Lord Wessex and she was in a higher rank than Will, but that did not stop Viola and William from seeing each other and falling in love with each other.
His view of love was different from how people around him viewed love, he viewed love as someone that would make him feel special and he wouldn’t feel unsure about their relationship but he was in and out of love because he would keep picking the wrong type of women. In the beginning of the movie William was experiencing writers block so when he went to his therapist and was speaking about how he has not experience the real feeling of love for a long time and that is why he thought that he could not be inspired to write another story, Will said in the scene that he felt that his quill was dried up, that was when his therapist gave him the bangle with a snake in it and said to “feed it your name and that whoever wore would be the one you will love and would inspire your writing”, which in my opinion was totally bogus and it ended up being true, he gave it to mistress Rosaline and she ended up being a whore. William after giving Rosaline the bangle began to write again because he thought he found his love and started to write the play “Romeo and Rosaline”, but he later found Rosaline in bed with another man, in which he is a bit of depression and this is when viola comes to audition for the play “romeo and Rosaline” dressed as a man and called herself “tom kent” and that is when William comes to meet viola and falls in love with her and he begins to write Romeo and Juliet with no problem, and he began to write with his heart and show all his feelings in the play.
His view on women in the beginning of the movie was he would hook up with different women to figure out if he felt anything other then sexual feelings for them, which he kept falling for the wrong one like he describe his wife leaving him and moving away. I felt that William and the men around him felt that women were worth really nothing, they were just women who cheated on their husband with other men or they were just a sex toy to fool around with and then just toss them to the side. Which I felt that William felt that way after his wife had twins and then never pleasing him in bed and then leaving three months later with his children, 100 miles away as he described it. William changed his opinion of women after he met Viola because he finally felt that he found his soul mate and partner who would inspire him to write more wonderfully. Also Viola to him was his writing partner because he would show viola the scenes and she would put her ideas into it also. William felt that Viola was very different from other women because she would go for what she wanted even if she was a women and in that era women were not allowed to act or do anything other than be a house wife or like viola a prize procession for her family and were to marry whoever the parents decided was good enough for her even if she did not love him.
