For the last couple of weeks we had the privilege of watching three adaptations of the legendary William Shakespeare play Othello. This play was about a man who was tricked by his "friend" into believing that his wife was unfaithful to him. He was forced to believe that his friend was being adulterous with his wife behind his back. As a result, he murdered his wife and later took his life when he realized that he was lied to and his wife was innocent. The more traditional version of the play was very hard to comprehend  because of the language barrier that was created. The second adaptation was a little easier to understand, but the most comprehensive version was O because it showed the play in a more modern and  relatable way. The language was much easier to understand and we were able to see the events of Othello unfold in a more contemporary way. I appreciated O the most because it showed me how something so ancient can still apply to society today. I enjoyed viewing the three filmed versions of this play because it made me appreciate Shakespeare in a way I never had in the past.
