Act 2, Scene 3
How dare he. I cannot believe that that drunk Cassio attacked me today. What is his problem other then his drinking. So this is what happens when you try to teach someone manners. I will never help anyone again after this little event. I’ve heard that Cassio has lost his rank from him attacking me. I feel really good about the plan that Iago and me made that it worked out and everything is starting to work out. But on the other side I would like to go back to Venice because tonight I’ve been beat up, spent most of my money, and I’m just tired of all of this plotting to destroy the moor and to win his wife. I may stay for a little bit more because of iago says that we are achieving things with are intelligence and that it takes more time for are plan to reach its height so I will wait to see what will happen.

I have just learned that my Love Desdemona is cheating on Othello With that new comer Cassio. I just cant believe that she would do that she seems so moral and pure to this world. I know that I could never have her but why Cassio and not me. Am I ugly or something I have the money form selling all my land. But then again I don’t really believe Iago he says they lust after each other by and that they will be lovers but I just see that happening they where not lusting it was Just the polite manners of the land. But Then again Iago is honest. So I will listen to him for now. Iago has given me the job of making Cassio Angry and to get Cassio to attack me. I wonder how I will do this. Maybe I will talk about his experience in the army. Yes that is what I will do.

Act 1 Scene 3
O Desdemona. I love thee and I cannot live with out you. I would rather die then let you be married to the Moor Othello. You Love with him makes me sick and I wish to be with you. I love you even thou I know we could never be together because of you love for Othello. Maybe you could lie to Othello like you did your father and Be with me. I talked to iago about my love for you and he says that I don’t loe you he says that I only lust after you and that I do not know what is good for me. But I know I don’t lust after you I know that it is true love. So I will take Iago advise and sell all of my land and raise money for you to dump the moor and come to me. Iago and I will meet in the morning at his house. I Will have my love Desdemona!

MISERY LOVES COMPANY
When it’s all said and done, my plan to ruin Othello’s life is done. My wife is a fool and if had I not be captured her life would have been mine. Regardless, Cassio should have died so I didn’t fully accomplish what I initially wanted. They say that misery loves company and even though I will be tortured and beat, Othello will be miserable with me and be right along with me in spirit. I never told why I did it, but let me let you in on a little secret. My original plan wasn’t for death; it was just to see Othello be miserable. I can honestly say that all of the other Unfortunate Events just came as a bonus. He slept with my wife and ended up killing his own. Maybe now if he goes back, he would pick me over that Cassio without a second thought. Or maybe that’s the reason that he never picked me in the first place. Because of my evil ways and the fact that I betrayed him. But all’s fair in love and war, or is it?
ACTION!!!!!!!
Blog 7
As I stand here and wait to put my plan in action, I can’t believe that Othello finally gave me the go to slay Cassio . As his blood runs down my sword, the feeling of vengeance will finally overtake me. I have prayed to god every morning since Othello first announced Cassio as his lieutenant, for the opportunity to kill him. Othello is just as foolish because he’s going to kill his wife as we speak. I have to sound conceited for a split second but how brilliant must I be to kill two birds with one stone. Must I not forget about Roderigo, all of the money that he loaned me he must also be eliminated. Okay I’ve got it I’ll just have to take both of them out. My plan is two strike quick and leave similar to that of a snake. And just in the blink of an eye my I have accomplished what I wanted. Now, to attend to the moor.
Sounds Like DEATH
Blog 6
A wise man once told me all is fair in love and war, unfortunately I myself, is the wise man, and my only love is vengeance. I clearly see that Othello is fighting a war against himself, but the beauty of it is that he thinks I’m his ally. I would love to see nothing more than for Othello to die on the battlefield of love. As of now, whenever I talk to Othello I can feel the hate that he has for Desdemona. Without looking directly at him I can see the fire and will in his eyes to kill Desdemona. The fool honestly thinks that Desdemona cheated on him, but necessarily letting him know the whole truth isn’t a lie. Well, Cassio was telling me about Bianca, but I told Othello that he was actually directing every insult to his wife. When it’s all said and done the evidence will be there, but Othello being the fool that he is will more likely than not be blind to the fact that the evidence doesn’t prove what he thinks it do. Are those screams that I hear, Oh wait sorry I have to go, that sound like death to me?
Act 1, Scene 1
O. What is that Iago doing with all my money I give him my purse to woo my love Desdemona but I have gotten no success with that? But then again I do trust Iago to get the job done and to get me Desdemona at any price. But he spends my money as if it is his. But today I learn that She has become married to thee moor Othello. That has really upset me. I will get Desdemona even if I have to spoil her marriage by rousing her family of the unknown marriage. But on another note I have learned that someone has passed up my good friend this person being a Michael Cassio from Florence that Is unfair down with the moor. How dare he pass up Iago like that. He promotes this Michael Cassio and he has no battle experience he is just some bookkeeper.

The Trickiness of it ALL
Blog 5
The trick to this is that, people may think that I was missing in action. That’s the brilliance of my plan though. Why should I continuously show my face, when all of the problems go down? Now that would be very retarded of me don’t you think? That’s the beauty of my scheme because if I were to pop up every time a situation occurred, my face would then be matched with a problem. Cassio just will not learn, is he foolish or just blinded. Either way I know that he won’t get his job back because when it’s all said an done, Othello will hate him, I love this scheme because the funny thing about it is that Othello doesn’t even really know why he hates Cassio He doubts that his wife is cheating on him, why won’t he question me, maybe he’s truly just a nitwit.
How Foolish
Blog 4
Oh my GOD, why are these men so foolish. They never take the time to even think upon what I’m doing. Am I just extremely smart or are they just that foolish. Cassio just can’t accept the fact that he lost his rank, stupid fool. But see the crazy part is, I’m definitely going to let that eat him up inside; he is ashamed of himself, exactly what I want him to be. Begging Desdemona for his job back won’t get anything done. You may ask me how I am so certain about this, well let’s just say that the more he talks to Desdemona, the more I point it out to Othello. The more I point it out to Othello, the more their trust wears thin. And once that line of trust is too thin, he can definitely say goodbye to all of his happiness “For Good”
What a fool
Blog 3
Sometimes I ask myself, how do so many people trust me, because I can’t even trust myself. Honestly, I never expected for this to go that far. But in what better way could god bless me, than with Cassio stabbing the Mantano. I mean gosh not only did he lose his job, but also maybe I can take it even further and make him suffer more. I will make sure that Othello regrets choosing him over me. This fool Cassio steady spills his feelings to me, but wait why, because keep catching him slipping in some of his statements about Desdemona. With each day, Othello is slowly starting to think what I want him to, and once I can change his opinion with the snap of a finger, he can kiss his rank and beautiful wife Desdemona Goodbye” For GOOD”. Is he really deserving of such a high rank or is he just another fool dressed as a leader.
Adding fuel into the Fire
Blog 2
I’m starting to think that I put my emotions before everyone else’s. My respect and tolerance for my girlfriend Emelia is really starting to run low. Even though Desdemona is a female, I understand her position and plus even though she isn’t on the pedastool that I’m on, she still plays a major part in my scheme. I mean come to think of it, he slept with my girlfriend, so why should I even respect him as a man. I truly can’t say whether I wanted Othello to step foot off of that boat because the sight of him makes me sick. Although I have to admit, once I saw Cassio take hold of Desdemona’s hand my heart lit up. Actually for two reasons, one because maybe Desdemona isn’t as faithful as Othello thinks she is. And two, this just gave me a brilliant idea, What if I pointed their friendship out to Othello. I could initially push them close to each other and then point out how they are two close to be friends. Brilliant I say, Brilliant
The Brilliant Plan
Blog 1
After hours of thinking I still can’t decide if I have the brilliance of a philosopher, or if the people that I scheme are simply foolish. Othello chose a man that knows more about the statistics of battle, than the battle itself. My main motive is revenge and I have no sympathy for the people that I harm. When Othello overlooked me, I took that as an insult. My seniority on the battlefield meant nothing to him, and I see it as him taking a shot at my pride. I actually consider it pretty easy but sometimes I can only wonder because the people that I turn against each other never come to question me. If I were truly his friend I would have stayed behind them one hundred percent. Yet, I put everyone in a position where they will think what I want them to think, and only what I want them to think. No one messes with Iago and Othello just has to learn the hard way.

End of Act 2
What has become of us?
Entry #8
I can’t believe this is how it’s going to end. I loved Othello with all my heart and would give anything for him and by anything I mean my life. Othello’s anger towards me was because he assumed I slept with Cassio. I have to say, that’s enough to drive me insane to the point where I would want to kill myself too, but it NEVER happened. Where is he getting all of this? I am nothing but faithful and loyal to Othello as a wife and servant. Did I not show Othello this when explaining to my father that I chose Othello to be my husband and that I am the one to blame for going behind his back, not Othello? I never gave him a reason to think that I was disloyal to him, so why want he hear me out. He has his mind made up without hearing what I have to say about the whole situation. If the table were switched I would have let him say his part. I wouldn’t have been so quick to draw conclusions. I guess it wouldn’t matter anyway; I’m dead now. Here in this room I lay dead by the hands of my love Othello all because of a lie. Even if I was granted a 2nd chance at life I would never tell anyone that I was killed by my husband because I am loyal to him, dead or alive.

I can't sleep
Entry #7
I know I’m supposed to be sleep during this part of the play, but I just can’t. As I lay here in this lonely bed I can only imagine how my life will turn out if I don’t patch things up with Othello; lonely and heartbroken. I can’t help but look around this lifeless room without constantly being reminded by Othello’s viewing of me. He sees me as a WHORE, how awful. This thought seems to have a way of creeping back in to my confused head. Out of all the things I could be worried about, this one makes the top of my list all the time. I figure if I do exactly what he asks of me than, everything will go back to normal with us. Won’t it? Will things ever go back to how they were? Will he look at me once more as a faithful wife or only see me as a conniving streetwalker. What will be of me in his eyes? I guess tonight is the night that will decide my future with Othello. All I can do now is wait for my dear love to return to me.
IS THIS WHAT YOU REALLY THINK OF ME!!!!
What has happen to my love Othello? What has become of him? He speaks of me as if I were a whore. HAS HE LOST HIS MIND!! I have been nothing but faithful to him, gave him the key to my world and he has the nerve to call me a whore. How dare he embarrassment me in front of Lodovico. I use to think that it was warfare that was causing his craziness, now I’m beginning to think otherwise. Is he jealous of Cassio? What is his problem? He talks to me as if I’m a young, worthless whore with no morals in life. If he thinks this of me then, he surly does not know me. Wait a minute, this talk sounds like a man I know, IAGO. Yes, I’ve heard Iago talk of women in this behavior before but, never this extreme. I don’t know; could this be the ways of Iago rubbing off on my dear Othello? Non-sense it can’t be. This is all Othello he’s the one who struck me. Not once have I ever heard Emilia say Iago has hit her. Even when talking to Iago and Emilia I can clearly see that they have my best intentions at heart. Iago would never destroy Othello and I relationship, why would I think such a cruel thing. If I’m not mistaking Emilia mentioned a man trying to destroy Iago and her marriage by telling him lies about her cheating on him with other men. Maybe this is the same fellow. I just pray what ever happens Othello and I will work it out. Iago and Emilia were able to do it, which means there’s hope for us.
helping Cassio
Entry #5
Lieutenant Cassio has come to me for help and has asked me to speak to my husband Othello in regards to him getting his position as lieutenant back. And as a lady of my word I’ve told him that I will do all that I can. Othello hasn’t been able to rest beside me without hearing of Cassio’s situation. Oh how I wish he would just hear me out. This isn’t only for Cassio benefit but for his as well. They need one another like a son needs a father. Speaking of needing things. WHERE IN THE HELL IS MY HANDKERCHIEF? Othello is going to kill me if he knows I lost it. It was the 1st loving thing that he has gave to me and at that it once belonged to his mother. He has always told me to keep it close to me and I have so, why don’t he believe me when I say that I’ll find. What’s his problem? Something is bother him and I can’t put my finger on it. I hope whatever it is doesn’t concern warfare and I just bet all my lucky stars it does. That can be the only reason for my dear Othello’s behavior. He’s handling a lot if pressure and I’m not being reasonable with him. That’s enough to drive me insane. I only wish that he would talk to me about his problems instead of trying to handle them on his own.
I still exist...
Entry #4
Even though I’m not mentioned in the beginning of Act 3 scene 1 or 2, I still exist don’t you know. Well I didn’t really have much to say which is why I wasn’t brought up until the 3rd scene. I was pretty much in deep thoughts. My love Othello has not been the same since the night he stripped Cassio of lieutenant. His eyes look as if he has been greatly hurt by a child of his own. Cassio too seems not to be in a great state of mind either. Two greatly appreciated men do not deserve to be depressed. As a wife of a general I must fix the lives of the hurt men who serve me. All I need now is a plan and once I have that, I’ll set it in action. My love and loyal lieutenant will never feel sorrow like this, as long as I’m a live.
Can somebody please tell what's going on!!!
Entry #3
What in the world is going on? One minute my love Othello and I are about to make sweet body artwork then out of nowhere he’s drawn from the room by an alarming noise. How are we ever going to consummate our marriage when we’re steady interrupted. Well I guess this is the life of a general’s wife; I can’t be the center of attention in Othello’s life all the time. Now getting back to that alarming noise. What could this be about? Othello has just taken Cassio’s position as lieutenant, Montano is injured, and everyone have these confused looks on their faces. WHAT’S GOING ON!!!!!!! If I am a wife of a general then I should be treated as the wife of a general. Whatever Othello is informed of I should be as well. Not because I’m noisy but, because it involve my husband’s life and to be quit honest it involves mines as well.
How rude
Entry #2
Oh my God! That Iago is something else. How dare he speak of women the way he do. Have he no respect for us. I wonder if my love Othello talks like Iago when I’m not around. I pray he doesn’t because Iago is ignorant. How does Emilia put up with him? I wish he were more like Cassio. Now, he is a respectful man, who understands a woman’s worth. Oh to whatever with them all!! My love Othello has finally gotten here safe and sound. I’m glad he’s okay because I wouldn’t know what to do if I lost him, he’s my world and as to him I am his. Oh, how I missed being in his arms, feeling his lips on my skin, the smell of his body as well as hearing his adoring voice. I’ve longed to be back in his arms, the same as a child girl longing for her wedding day. At this moment nothing can destroy my happiness.
Leaving my father
Entry #1
My father must have seen it coming, but never this way. Oh, it tore him apart to find out that I went behind his back and married without his consent. One day I was going to get married to the man of my dreams and that man happened to be Othello. Who is my father to tell me other wise; that this was not love with Othello, but witchcraft. Didn’t my mother do the same; deceive her father’s permission when allowing my father to take her hand. What goes around comes around, that’s all I have to say about that. Then, has the nerve to tell me that he is ashamed of me, that if he had anymore children he would have locked them in the house so that they wouldn’t make the same mistake as me. Well if what I did was a mistake so did my mother, when she gave her hand in marriage. I’m not ashamed for giving Othello my hand; he deserves me as well as I deserve him. What I told the Duke and my father was no lie. I fell in love with Othello the old fashion way and love him no less then what he loves me. I just regret embarrassing my father in front of the Duke and senators. I should have told him the day of because at the end of the day I was still going to be Othello’s wife no matter what he said.
