Macbeth is only about one thing, Macbeth and his problems to being king. Othello\u2019s plot, on the other hand, is filled with different stories of different main characters, like Rodrigo and Desdemona. Another example is how hard it is to understand all the different events that are occurring in Othello. You can never be sure who is being talked about and how because of all the diverse drama dispersed through the story. In Macbeth it is quite easy to understand that his ideas are always directed to how he is going to become king as well as Lady Macbeth. An example of the side stories in Othello is how Rodrigo wants Desdemona to be with him and is tricked by Iago to serve him. Then a second one is how Iago is angry and resented by Cassio for taking his spot in the military because he doesn\u2019t think he deserves it. The amount of main characters also increases in Othello because they all seem as important as the next. This is the main difference between these Shakespearean plays.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"37690454","dateCreated":"1302804587","smartDate":"Apr 14, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"luisuarez","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/luisuarez","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1302804674\/luisuarez-lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/davidgarethw-books-b.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/37690454"},"dateDigested":1531973916,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Othello Versus Macbeth","description":"The Shakespearean play that I\u2019m Reading in my literature circle is more interesting than Macbeth. I believe this because Othello, the one I read; seems more real than Macbeth. In Macbeth, a \u201cmystical\u201d view of the world is seen with the witches, and in Othello It all appears to be real. Also, Othello is more interesting due to the fact that we don\u2019t know what is going to happen in the story. In Macbeth it is predictable that in the end, Macbeth\u2019s tyranny will be destroyed. In Othello, nothing is clear, and you can\u2019t predict what is going to happen because the story can have many outcomes. Also, I think that the main theme focused in Othello, is much more interesting that in Macbeth. In Othello, the main theme is Jealousy\/Envy, and it makes the story very \u201csuspenseful\u201d and intriguing. In the main theme of Macbeth, is the ambition of a thought in a humans mind. I believe that it is more interesting to see how humans act in a case of \u201cimplanted jealousy\u201d, rather than in Macbeth. Finally, I think it is more interesting because Othello is very straightforward; it is a text that I believe is much easier to understand, in comparison to Macbeth. Since the plot of Othello is \u201cclear\u201d thus it makes it more interesting and less boring. Therefore Othello is more interesting than Macbeth.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"37619712","dateCreated":"1302718249","smartDate":"Apr 13, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"cristinarojas1","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/cristinarojas1","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/davidgarethw-books-b.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/37619712"},"dateDigested":1531973916,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Twelfth Night","description":"Shakespeare\u2019s \u201cTwelfth Night\u201d is far more jovial and humorous than his other tragedy, \u201cMacbeth\u201d.

A king dying because a man thought it was his destiny to kill after three witches predicted that it was his future, is only read in novels and plays that do fascinate people, but it is very unlikely for it to happen. In Twelfth Night, the characters get into a knot of problems, that anyone can go through, because love blinds us all. They struggle to be loved back and to do so; they go through conflicts with themselves and conflicts with other characters. Being confused on who you truly love and who truly is meant to be with you is much more believable than three mystical witches changing the life of a noble man so suddenly, he becomes crazy with ambition and kills. In Twelfth Night, the characters make very common mistakes like being liars, deceivers and very envious driving them into committing mistakes and changing the course of the story. The ups and down\u2019s of this play are much more likely for anyone to go through than the great downfall Macbeth faces. His ambition in the end is so strong; everything falls apart in ways that one can mildly relate to.

In the other hand, Cymbeline promotes the desire of temptation, lust and affection transmitted by women. She does her best to end up with the man she loves, while Lady Macbeth does her best in order to make her husband succeed.

\nQuestion #20
\nJos\u00e9 R. Mart\u00ednez
\n
\nThe Shakespearean play that I am reading in my literature circle is more complex than Macbeth. First of all, through the use of manipulation, Iago is able to control those around him. This control is done through the tweaking of information. Consequently, those who are associated with Iago, only know what he was them to know. On the other hand, in Macbeth, the type of control that was being used consisted in eliminating those who posed as a threat. Macbeth has all those who he believes as possible threats, killed. With this in mind, deception and murder are two very different things. The first, is a more complex idea, and is harder to achieve. The second, is quite basic, and shows the weakness of a person when faced with trouble. In short, Othello is more complex than Macbeth, mainly because of its use of inception.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"37630920","body":"Thanks Jose...

Cymbeline is about a man testing his wife\u2019s loyalty by provoking her to be with another man which is more appealing to me than a struggle for power. It\u2019s also more interesting because there are a lot of secrets that the audience doesn\u2019t know off and they are slowly revealed to them throughout the play. Instead in Macbeth, the audience knows everything but the characters do not. Cymbeline also switches sceneries and places constantly from Britain to Rome it keeps you more interested because you have to keep track about where the play is. The characters are much more interesting because they aren\u2019t victimizing as Macbeth or crazy as Lady Macbeth but they are hypocrites and charming at the same time. Cymbeline is more interesting because it\u2019s not as dramatic as Macbeth. So much drama and tragedy tends to be exhausting and causes a lost of interest in the play. However, the alternation between drama and humor in Cymbeline breaks the tension and keeps it interesting. Macbeth also tends to focus a lot in the minds of the people instead Cymbeline is more about the actions which increase its level of interest.

\nWiki Question 20
\n
\nThe Shakespearean play that I am reading in my literature circle is far more lighthearted than "Macbeth". "Macbeth" is a dark, tragic story full of plotting, murder, madness and power-hungry, greedy people. "Macbeth" is a Shakespearean tragedy and our main characters are selfish, cruel creatures who meet an ugly fate and a bloody end. "The Twelfth Night" is much less grim and much more playful. The main characters are bright, witty people, each in love with a character who initially does not love them back. The plot unfolds, revealing diguises along the way and by the end of the play, the mood is cheerful and every character ends up with the person they were meant to. The ending is a joyful one, a celebration of love. While "Macbeth" is filled with dark themes, focused around power and greed, "The Twelfth Night" is comic and its themes center around happier topics such as love and mischief. "Macbeth" leaves one thinking the characters are wicked and villainous. Contrarywise, the "Twelfth Night" leaves one thinking nice things of the characters and with a smile on one's face.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"37620820","body":"\u00a9 Ella Marie Nugent, 2011.","dateCreated":"1302718961","smartDate":"Apr 13, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"ellagicacid","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/ellagicacid","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1343664898\/ellagicacid-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"37631452","body":"Good Ella,
