Othello 1

     As I begin reading Shakespeare's Othello, I notice many of the themes discussed in class to already be appearing. However, I sense an abundant amount of distrust between Brabantio and his daughter. After only reading a few pages, I can already see how unbelievably angry he is at his daughters running of with a man, a black man, nonetheless.
     Another theme I noticed was the Authorities of Men and Women. This distrust between Brabantio and his daughter shows the roles of women in those time, specifically daughters. Women did absolutely nothing without the consent, or demand, of their fathers. I have not even read far into the story but I can already tell His daughter's relationship will appear often throughout the play.

"We cannot all be masters, nor all masters cannot be truly followed" (Shakespear, 1361, Act I, Scene I, Line 43).

This line stood out to me immediately, because I love it so much, Basically, it's saying "you do you." I really like this quote from Iago because it shows independence and thinking for oneself. Even though he isn't a villain yet, I can already tell I like Iago.
