Othello

All of the points that Foster makes about Othello are valid, but in my opinion, I can not see him as anything other than "stupid beyond redemption". Yes, he was manipulated, yes he was extremely emotional. But, come on, this play was outrageously dramatic to the point where it was not believable.

Othello was so stupid that he believed whatever Iago told him; he never thought for himself logically or used common sense. He was driven by an overload of emotions that his though process was so severely impaired that he became stupid to the point where he murdered the love of his life.

In fact this is beyond idiotic, he could be considered mentally impaired! I just can not believe anything in this play. It was all so fake that I could not take the story line seriously.

I firmly believe that this might be one of Shakespeare's worst plays ever.

It's another new year! It's another new book!

I have made a resolution of sorts, one that I hope I will be able to follow through on. My resolution is as follows; I will promise to read and finish at least one book a month.

This past year I have been a severe slacker. I have barely been reading and I am slowly being swallowed whole by all of the books I have piled in my room waiting to be read.

I have given myself a goal I hope that I can accomplish. A couple years ago, I would've been reading 3 times that much, but I have let my brain go. I need to get it and myself back on track.

This is it! One book a month. I can do this! I can get back to the avid reader I once was!

The amount of books in the world is so overwhelming! The amount of books in the book store is insane! Yet, being surrounded by all of those books is so calming; you can almost feel the knowledge seeping into your brain when you are sitting in a library or book store, as if osmosis is occurring with the words on the page and your mind (if only). It is a beautiful thing to experience.

To be in  Barnes and Nobles with a coffee from Starbucks, sitting in those big comfy chairs in the back of the store; it is a feeling you can't describe. The warmth, the peace and quiet, it is wonderful! Almost like a sort of meditation!

So many books surrounding you, waiting to be read. It is a lot of pressure, but yet so inviting at the same time. I can't wait to go back, If there is an afterlife, that is where I want to be!
