Roderigo is really left with nothing at the end of this, as he is stabbed by false hope and literally dies with all his money and jewels given away to all.

Interesting that they never really refer to him as Othello but really only as Moor

Why are they all being bribed with money or gold of some sort?

So many themes of suicide present all the time... what do these say about Shakespeare?

Another topic that feels very premature to the time to me, something that I really like to live by, but an idea that feels more recent. Maybe I need to do more research on shakespearean times and ideals?

This is very interesting to me that this was a conversation in that time... I am surprised to see this. I also wonder what the repercussions for Shakespeare were, by having such a controversial topic in his plays/

This is interesting to me that this was a conversation that was being had even so long ago... Seems silly but also very philosophical for the time and I cannot help but wonder how many people caught onto that, and either used it or put any additional thought into it at all.

Do we think this really means- in her offense? Or her own defense? I could see both being true, if that is what they mean by a suicide.

I wonder if there is any truth in her not killing herself? What was Shakespeare's intention with this, by having such profound character die by suicide, but also have it be a possibility that she did not?

I had no idea that this was a thing at all, not even in that time. I wonder if this is still practiced by religious extremists today, sometimes would not surprise me based on some of the things going on in today's society.

He reminds me of one of my students, going round and round answering a question or admitting fault to someone. It is interesting how he has a different personality and allowable shared information depending on the person that he is with, seems someone could have a hard time with that and mix up some information or give up something that shouldn't be given up to that particular person.

How is this going to be seen not as suspicious? Almost exactly as the actual murder happened, it seems some suspicion of Hamlet is deemed to follow this scene.

I was thinking the same thing... the scholar of the times could talk to ghosts?

I wonder what the connotation at the time of this subject was, because I cannot believe that it was perceived well as it still is not today.
