Fighting for Cassio

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 19:59:00 -0400

Cassio is one of my closest friends. I trust him with my life and I know he feels the same. I don’t know what led him to act so foolishly. Why on earth did he attack that man, and then he hurt poor Montano. I heard that alcohol was involved, and that must be what influenced him. I do not like alcohol; when consumed in large amounts it transforms even the most respectable men into complete fools. I heard Othello had to break up the fight, and I am glad that he didn’t get hurt. I understand that Othello had to prove a point as general and demote Cassio. However, I also think that he deserves a second chance as lieutenant. All his good actions outweigh this bad one. It doesn’t make sense why Othello won’t forgive him. I made a promise to Cassio and I will fulfill it. I told him, “Be thou assured, good Cassio, I will do All my abilities in thy behalf…Do not doubt, Cassio, But I will have my lord and you again As friendly as you were.” (Act 3, Scene 3, Lines 1-2, 5-7). I realized that as the wife of the general, I am able toinfluence him if I need to. I am going to plead Cassio’s case to Othello and help him see that Cassio should be promoted back to his original position. Every time I bring up Cassio, Othello changes the subject. I don’t know whether he just doesn’t want to talk to me about his job or if he just doesn’t want to help his friend. I will break down his resistance until he agrees with me. I’m going to keep pestering Othello about Cassio , what’s the worst that could happen?

How Could I Be So Careless?

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 19:58:03 -0400

I cannot believe that I lost my most prized possession. My handkerchief. It was given to me by my love Othello, and now it is nowhere to be found. I have looked everywhere, I even asked my friend Emilia who has not seen it. Emilia is always with me, and if she would have come across it I know she would return it to me. It is all my fault, I should have protected that handkerchief with my life. I am so troubled over this little token, because it is the first gift that my dear husband ever gave me. Othello, the great general, is such a kind and loving man. He is so important and even when he gets upset with me, I know it’s not his fault. His work keeps him so busy and he is so stressed, I don’t know how he does it! He just told me this story about the history behind the handkerchief and now I am even more distraught.

”That handkerchief
    Did an Egyptian to my mother give.
    She was a charmer, and could almost read
    The thoughts of people. She told her, while she kept it,
    ’Twould make her amiable and subdue my father
    Entirely to her love; but if she lost it
    Or made gift of it, my father’s eye
    Should hold her loathed, and his spirits should hunt
    After new fancies” (Act 3, Scene 4, Lines 50-58).

I do not think that Othello would lie to me, but I hope he is wrong because if it is true then our love may not last! Without Othello I am no one. Who would I be, If I wasn’t Othello’s wife? I would have no where to go if I lost him, I cannot go back to my father now that I have offended him. After all, I did elope and now my duty lies with Othello. I MUST find that handkerchief. Perhaps I should ask my friend, the honest Iago.

Let me know if you see it, it looks like this:

Design Elements

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 19:57:00 -0400

We chose the font to be pink because it is feminine and delicate, just like Desdemona herself. The font flows across the page well with the grace of the character who is being portrayed. The background is white, which represents her purity, honesty, and innocence. The sides of the background also feature strawberries. We chose to add this to the background because there are strawberries on the handkerchief Desdemona got from Othello and it is very important to her. The image with the first blog entry features a quote about loyalty. We felt this is appropriate because throughout her actions she demonstrates a strong conviction for loyalty. The image following the second blog entry is an image of her handkerchief from Othello. Desdemona is so desperate to find it, that we felt she would ask all her friends to help her look for it. We also included other images to make the blog more realistic. Everything we added follows the main theme of love and we feel that it would be pictures that Desdemona would have on her blog. The music featured on the blog is a collection of classic and modern love songs. The first song to play is “My Heart WIll Go On” from the movie Titanic, which is about love enduring all things. Another song is “Better Together” by Jack Johnson which is about how great love is. We feel that the title of the blog, “Confessions of a Hopeless Romantic” expresses the thoughts of Desdemona. She is so in love with Othello that we thought it is fitting that she would describe herself as such.

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
