  JULIET

Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,

Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek

For that which thou hast heard me speak to-night

Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny

What I have spoke: but farewell compliment!

Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,'

And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear'st,

Thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuries

Then say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,

If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully:

Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,

I'll frown and be perverse an say thee nay,

So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.

In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,

And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light:

But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true

Than those that have more cunning to be strange.

I should have been more strange, I must confess,

But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,

My true love's passion: therefore pardon me,

And not impute this yielding to light love,

Which the dark night hath so discovered.

Activity 14 Storyboard the Heck out of it!

Now storyboard the whole play in 20 pictures. Stick Figures would be your best bet. You have 1 hour to do this.
This must be posted by 210pm today. Good Luck.

Activity 11 Othello Act 5 sc. 2



OTHELLO.
It is the cause my soul,--
does not let me tell you, I'm not gonna blame fortune on the stars!--
It is the cause.--Yet I'll not kill her;
Nor hurt her skin that is whiter then snow,
And smooth as monumental white stone.

[Takes off his sword.]

she must die, before she betrays more men.
he is going to put out the light of her life:
If I quench the, thou flaming minister[confused],
I can again the former light restore,
Should I regret it:- once i kill her,
Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature,
i don't know the Promethean heat
That can turn on the light of life. When I have killed,
I cannot give it life again,
It must needs water:--I'll smell it on the tree.--

Iago...say what? Activity 9 Due Tomorrow at the begining of class.



Therefore I will forever make Rodrigo my money (because he is an idiot); I will continue to gain from my knowlege and i shouldnt speak against it.  If i would spend timme with such moron, I only do it for money and for fun.  

I hate Othello, and it is thought-in other countries that between my sheets, Otherllo is with my wife. I dont know if it is true, but i willl take it for certain.

Othello trust me; great now my plan to ruin his life will be all that much easier. Cassio's a good guy.  Let me see now:To get his place, and to make something not a big deal huge. How? How? Let's see.After some time, to convince him that he is too familiar with his wife. He has a wife that is a lier.The Moor is of a free and open nature. That thinks that all men are honest  by the way they look but that are not honest.And will as tenderly be led by the nose As asses are.I have it! It is engendered! Hell and night Must bring this ugly birth to the world's light. [Exit.](Iago's soliloquy, "Othello," Act 1, Scene 3, lines 374-395)
