I have an oral on Othello by Shakespeare about the characters personalities. I cant understand anything of want they want to mean.Im not even a university student that studying literature and humanities. I tried searching the web and the only thing came up was essays on the personnalities and perception of the world which is not what im looking for.
Ok anyone with me? Who think that we should ban teachers for using Shakespeare for essays (except for baccs and masters and Ph.D.)?

othello is such an easy play to character analyze. some critics say that iago may be the greatest villian in literature.

Shakespeare is the shit. Don't talk bad about him. And if you are too dumb to understand it, then happy burger-flipping!

I don't really know where to start. For one, just because you're a dumbass doesn't mean that Shakespeare's plays must never be studied in school. Amongst many other points take this advice. Actaully read it, take your time, and you will say to yourself "Damn bitch, Shakespeare is fucking hilarious and brilliant this is a great story."

Im not saying its crap, Im saying that its really hard to understand because it is not modern english. Therefor, it should not be studied in lower degrees of education.

shakespear was just depressing, so depressing where people can call it art. i dont consider tradagies art, just a lame excuse for being a pussy. there is always hope, no matter what shakespear may say.

just get high and then you won't be so stressed. then you can take advantage of the "watered down" school system. Your half assed stoned work will be just as good as most of those other stupid fucking kids, especially the girls. Just make it look nice and you'll get a good grade. Worry about school doesn't make sense when it's so easy. It's like getting stressed about having to unzip your pants to take a piss.

I simply can't perceive that artistically beautiful writing that makes his works still be read centuries after his death. To me, his stories are just plain boring, not that i can't understand what's going(kinda hard though), it just doesn't interest me.
