sorry blog 4 much ado about nothing

In act five Hero her family and the priest staged her death. When Claudio hears of this he is highly upset. He tells her father that he will do anything for him because of how badly Claudio treated and disgraced his daughter. In the first part of his punishment Claudio was made to write a poem which clears Hero’s name of all that she was accused of and expresses Claudio’s love and also Claudio’s regret of which he has done. He promises that he will visit Hero’s gravesite the same day every year. The second part of Claudio’s punishment was that he had to marry one of Leonatos other nieces instead of Hero. I personally believe that Claudio is truly and genuinely sincere in his love of hero and I also believe that he is truly sorry for what he did. I believe that Claudio deserves another chance with Hero because he got tricked by what he thought was a friend that his Hero was cheating on him. I am a firm believer that your friends come before a girl and if I was in that situation I would’ve believed him as well. Maybe he should have tried harder in his act of finding out the truth but when you’re in love as Claudio says that he was it hurts too much to even see that person. That is probably one of the most crushing feelings in the world. And if Hero thinks that he deserves her which she must have because she winds up to go on and marry him than that is truthfully all that matters, because no matter what who or when YOU live YOUR life for YOU, and your happiness is what truly matters because without happiness what kind of life is that.

Othello Blog 1

Brabantio is very upset that Othello married his daughter Desdemona, he doesn’t want her marrying Othello he accuses Othello of having his daughter under a spell. He believe that if his daughter was under her own thinking and power that she wouldn’t of married Othello, he believed that she would of married someone of higher class and of more wealth. He is trying to protect his daughter he doesn’t believe that this man is good enough for her. Leonato on the other hand when he finds out why Hero’s FiancĂ© Claudio doesn’t marry her yells and gets mad at Hero. Hero was set up and Claudio was lead to believe that Hero was talking to another man in her window at night. Claudio then goes on not to marry her, and Leonato feels ashamed of his daughter and at first is against her because he feels that she has disgraced his families name. There is a big difference there in how each of the fathers handled the situation and big difference in thought. Brabantio was behind his daughter because he believed that his daughter wasn’t herself when they were married, so he took all of his frustration out on his son in law Othello. And Leonato took a different approach, he didn’t even want to hear his daughter out at first and believed all these false accusations and was mad and yelling at his daughter. He took the word of another man over the word of his own daughter.
