Glass of Water.. Masham

I knew I was going to love Glass of Water when I first saw it was about a Queen and the characters were of high importance. The twists and turns of this play were very interesting. I had no idea what the title meant until the very end which gave purpose to reading the play. I loved how the story was all about Masham but each character was still important in their own way. Queen Anne was my favorite character because she seemed weak minded but I know she was strong in her own way. She really wanted love and to be happy. She was being controlled by the Duchess but at the end we see her take control and not stay upset about Masham. I loved this play!

Othello.. The Play I Have Always Loved (SHOW & TELL)

Shakespeare's Othello has always been a play I loved dearly. I have read it many times and can never get tired of reading it. Othello is not only interesting and funny but raises a lot of questions about real issues that can occur today. With forms racism, greed and deceit all present in this exciting play, you know it has to be filled with drama. The play takes place in Venice and revolves around Othello or The Moor. Othello has had a secret marriage with Desdemonda, a woman of another race. After pleading their love to the Duke and being blessed with their marriage Othello is sent to Cyprus to fight the Turks. With him are his soldiers and new wife. One of his good friend and fellow soldier Iago has a plan to take down The Moor because he wants to be in charge. In the end Iago's plan leaves everyone dead, including himself. Im sure many people have read it but I still don't want to give it all away for those who haven't. Its really an interesting play and I personally love Shakespeare.
