Desdemona's Dream Comes True!

       It's the last day I will be talked about in AP English for a while and people are finally beginning to understand me. I stayed strong even though my love, Othello thought I was cheating on him with Cassio. So foolish, Othello, so very foolish. A very intelligent girl, Katie Connolly, decided to back me up, commending me for my "strong female character and unyielding loyalty" even when my husband wanted to simply find fault in me. Oh, how I was "falsely, falsely murdered!" (5.2.116). I died a "guiltless death," without shame or condemnation, and it was the best day I had in all of AP English (5.2.121). I pity characters like Gogol, Nurse Ratched, and even my own husband Othello, who never receive any pity from the critical students of Ms. Serensky's classes. I cried out, "Have mercy on me!" and for once, the students listened (5.2.33). Although there were still some students who felt to criticize me for being too steadfast, the fact that any of these students would take my side flattered me. Many would think that Shakespeare had me die in the novel obviously because I did something wrong, however, did it ever occur to them that my death may have simply been punishment to another character for their wrongs (Othello)? I do hope that the students do not judge too harshly my husband, for he knew not what he was doing, and acted out of love for me. They must learn to see not only the bad in people, but the good also, for loyalty and devotion remain two of the strongest qualities a person can possess in life.
