My drama class was rehearsing a play which includes excerpts from a number of Shakespeare’s plays.
While creating a donkey mask, the actor who briefly plays Richard III said, “A pencil! A pencil! My kingdom for a pencil!”
Not missing a beat, another student replied, “2B or not 2B? That is the question!”
I am so very, very proud.
My students have obviously learned something from studying Shakespeare’s ‘Othello’.
A student wrote the following assessments in this week’s essay:
“Desdemona is Othello’s wife; the least he could do is talk to her, but apparently that’s too much to ask of our protagonist.”
“Othello is a dirtbag husband that took advantage of Desdemona’s love for him.”
Spot on, I say.
