For a moment there i thought you meant mean girls was a shakespeare essay

I just finished mine for AS on Othello :)

Oh, and about Othello being a racist play, it would be to a modern reader, but when the play was writen, it would of been perfectly acceptable.

Othello isn't racist, Shakespeare writes it in favour of blacks. The Elizabethan society which the Venetian culture reflects is racist.

I think he is reffering to racist characters - but yes I agree, the way Shakespeare portrays Othello's demise creates pity for the character.

I'm doing Macbeth. He seems to be one corrupt son of a *****...

i did romeo and juliet

I am on "Much Ado About Nothing" which is incredibly boring :o lol.

I did Romeo & Juliette and did Othello this year
