    Iago ’s Play “O‚ beware‚ my lord‚ of jealousy!/ It is the green-eyed monster‚ which doth mock/The meat it feeds on” (1226). Before this unit‚ I would not have known that this quote came from one of Shakespeare ’s plays. I would even not have understood what it meant‚ nor how it could set the tone for all of the tragic events that would occur to the characters in his play. Although I first read this work in middle school‚ I feel that I have read a completely new story reading it years later. This

    Seminar Review On November 20th I went to the Black Box theatre to see the play Seminar. It was a small production‚ and there were only five actors.

The play started out with four actors portraying college graduate writers. I loved how realistic the setting was; it really looked like somebody’s real apartment. The actors did very well portraying emotion‚ and
