The Picture of Dorian Gray Preface
Read Aloud the preface to the novel.
1)Why is this a manifesto about the purpose of Art, the role of the artist, and the value of beauty?
The manifesto about the purpose of Art is the debate about people agreeing whether the piece of art is beautiful or not. The role of the artist is to created debate with his art, when there is critics about his art work and people see it in different ways he has done his job. The value of beauty is just a piece of work to be judged by the spectator, its on how you see it.
2)How does he define both artist and critic?
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. And the critic is who can translate into another manner or new material his impression of beautiful things.
3)What do you think he meant by saying "a book can be moral or immoral?"
"A book can be moral or immoral," It really depends on how the spectator feels about the book. To some one the book might be moral but to another one it might be immoral.
Interpret: "Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril." Is this a warning of some kind?
Every artwork has its own meaning, the spectator should really go further on than the image shown by the artists, but they had look deep into the artwork to understand the message of the art piece.
Interpret: "It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors."
It's the artwork that reflects the spectator and not the life.
Explain whimsical last line: "All art is quite useless."
Art is useless because it serves no other purpose than beauty.

Othello character sketch
David Thewlis has play before in Harry Potter as a teacher. We chose this character because we think he would play a good role of Iago. He was a teacher in Harry Potter and that means he has to be smart and clever to play a role of a teacher. Iago was pretty clever himself, in Othello, he plays the role of Othello’s friend, but what Othello doesn’t know is that he planned the whole story about Desdemona and Cassio.

Keanu Reeves as Cassio
We choose Keanu Reeves to play as Cassio because in the movie Matrix he didn’t depend on anybody else, he was a character that would stand up for himself more like Cassio. He has no idea of Iago’s evil plan.

Antonio Banderas can make a great Roderigo he has played as a protagonist and antagonist in many movies. In Othello Roderigo is the person who tries to conviced Iago to kill Cassio. Roderigo’s persona in Othello is the character of someone who will take orders and aren’t afraid of getting things done.
Monica Bellucci as Emilia
Monica Bellucci would make a good Emilia she has work in many films. Emilia’s persona in the play is an understandable woman. She thought that Iago, her husband was a good man until she found out that he was trying to kill Othello and Desdemona.
Naomi Watts would make a good Desdemona, she’s pretty, she’s has work in many movies like King Kong. In Othello Desdemona and Othello are in love. Othello is a Moor and he is darker of skin color while Desdemona is of lighter skin color. Desdemona’s persona in Othello is an innocent type of woman. She’s also hurt that Othello is accusing him of having an affair with Cassio.

The Venetians were a wealthy and therefore powerful people. This wealth was due Venice’s canals which made it an ideal place for trade. The wealth and power of this city did two important things in consideration of the plot of Othello. They made Venice a city of high importance to military and political officials and also gave the natives a great pride in their background.
How were the Moors/Venetians regarded in Shakespeare's day?
Moors were characterized as being alternately or even simultaneously noble or monstrous, civil or savage. Being a different race meant, primarily, being an Other, non-English, as well as non-Christian.
*The Venetians regarded to Shakespeare’s day the wealth and power of Venice did two important things in consideration of the plot of Othello. They made Venice a city of high importance to military and political officials and also gave the natives a great pride in their background.
What were the military duties of ranked officers?
What was the military hierarchy?
The military hierarchy of ancient Greece could in retrospect be viewed as running parallel to its social hierarchy. The aristocratic class were the wealthiest and most politically powerful individuals of the populace. Their social position gave them an identical stature in the military hierarchy, for they assumed complete authority as trierarchs of both land and sea forces. Not only did they instigate wars but they also led them on the battle fields. Cavalry members were quite wealthy but were subordinates to the first census class. They supplied chariots and horses and equipped themselves handsomely with armaments; often they were commanders of small units. The hoplite soldiers who formed the phalanx were composed of third class members, and were capable of attaining the necessary skills and equipment to become heavy-infantry soldiers. The lowest class was conscripted into the light-infantry in which they were massed together under the leadership of the generals and commanders. Although the military hierarchy was imbued with the same social hierarchy as in their city states the military was much more than an obligatory service. It was a unifying patriotic force that was shared between all social classes on the battle field where each citizen saw himself as a soldier equal to any other.
What was the role of women?
Prior to the 16th century society viewed women with the Christian and Aristotelian views which looked at them as sinful and imperfect. Writers such as Shakespeare challanged these views with their works and they were slowly changed. Women were mostly silent, they did not speak out much at all about their opinions, especially in public. Some women wrote, but mostly all they wrote about was prayer and meditation. The only real chance they got to write about their feelings was in poems. Women were beginning to get some power, the ruler of England at the time was Elizabeth who was the most powerful woman of her time. Nobel women had much easier lives while poorer women had to work hard to keep their husbands and families happy.
What was expected of a daughter?
Daughters were seen as property to control by their fathers. They were expected to obey their father’s wishes and to marry by the age of thirteen. Daughters were objects to always be guarded and watched over, too tender and gentle to fend for themselves in a dangerous world. They were expected to preserve their chastity until marriage, and provide a dowry when they finally did marry.
What was expected of a bride?
What rules for getting married existed at the time of the play?
Brides were supposed to be virgins before marriage. Women were supposed had to be faithful and respect their fathers and the family over their wants and needs.
What were the rules of courtship?
What do you think is a scene in a play?
A scene is a unit within an act. Begin - Mid- End.
What do you think is drama term dramatis personae?
Latin for the characters or persons in a play.In your groups: read your appropriate Othello Plot Synopsis
Who are the characters in your Act?
The characters in Act v are Roderigo, Cassio, Othello, Desdemona, Lodovico, Gratiano, Emilia, lago, and Biana.

The Moors were Native of Morocco. The word "Moor" meant black. In the Middle Ages the Africans were called Moors. The Moors went into Spain and the settled the foundations of new civilization. The country was very favorable by their labors. They introduced the silk industry into Spain. In the agriculture field, they were highly skilled, and introduced rice, sugar cane, dates ginger, cotton, lemons, and strawberries into the country. Education was universal in Moorish Spain , being given to the most humble, while in Christian Europe ninety- nine percent of the people were illiterate, and even kings could neither read nor write. Moorish women were doctors, and lawyers and professors. Jewish scholars studied under the Moors, and then went to England and set up a scientific school at what later came to be Oxford University.
