Read and discuss two Shakespeare works. First up, Othello, one of Shakespeare's great tragedies. You know how it goes... Iago, Othello's evil subordinate deludes Othello into believing his beloved Desdemona is unfaithful. He strangles her, then discovers Iago's treachery and kills himself. Then, in Measure for Measure, Vienna's eccentric Duke departs, leaving deputy Angelo in charge. Angelo condemns Claudio to death. Claudio's sister Isabella, a novice nun, begs Angelo to pardon Claudio. Angelo agrees, "but only if you sleep with me." Complications ensue! The returning Duke saves Claudio and punishes Angelo, then proposes to Isabella, who doesn't get to say a word in reply.
