Othello's Music Video

"Love sees sharply, hatred sees even more sharply, but jealousy sees the sharpest for it is love and hate all at the same time." This quote describes Othello great. The whole play is about people being manipulated, and a whole bunch of jealousy. Throughout the play, Othello is lied to by one of his good friends, Iago. Iago told Othello that his best friend Cassio is having an affair with Desdemona.
The music video and the song "Mr. Brightside" shows perfectly what goes on in the play and the lyrics are perfect as well. At one point in the song he sings "Now they're going to bed, and my stomach is sick. And it's all in my head..." This is referring to Cassio hooking up with Desdemona, but in reality it is all in his head because it is not true. Also, throughout the song it says "It was only a kiss, why did it end up like this?" This is saying that even though Othello thinks they hooked up, he knows it was not anything serious, and everyone exaggerated the truth, and now everyone is dead.

Trifles Video

Sometimes it is easier to understand literature not just by reading it, but by actually watching and observing it. The play "Trifles" was not that difficult to understand, but by watching a quick clip on it, you can better understand it. It is easier to pick up on the mood and the tone, which both have a creepy feeling to it. From the video you get the full effect of what the characters are actually doing, what they are feeling, and there expressions.

For the actors and actresses to act out the video, they have to be able to understand the play fully, otherwise it would make for a bad video and sometimes it almost is like you are watching and reading two different pieces of literature. From the short clip, you can tell that the actors had a good understanding of what was going on in the play, and how it was supposed to be portrayed.
