One of William Shakespeare's most tragic plays is "Othello". The full title of the play is "The Tragedy Of Othello, The Moor Of Venice". The play is thought to have been composed by William Shakespeare in 1603.

The story of the play is basically about two central characters: The first is Othello, the Moore commander of the Venetian army, and the second is his traitorous subordinate, Iago.

The play manages to entertain as well as inform. The play is still popular with the audience and is still staged in professional theaters due to its diverse contexts like racism, jealousy, love, revenge, betrayal, and remorse.

Short story

Rodrigo, a wealthy and immoral gentleman, complained to his friend Ensign Yago that Yago had told him nothing about the secret marriage of General Othello, the Moorish national of the Venetian army, to Desdemona, the daughter of Senator Brabancio.

Rodrigo was offended by this incident. Because he loved Desdemona and even proposed marriage to his daughter to Bravanschio.

Iago dislikes Othello. Because he promoted a young man named Casio to a higher position. Iago thought of Casio as a less skilled soldier than his own. So he told Rodrigo about his plans for revenge against Othello.

Yago assures him that if Rosario provokes Bravancio to persuade his daughter, their intentions will be fulfilled. Yago, meanwhile, slipped out and found Othello. He then warns her that Brabanshi is also looking for her.

At Rodrigo's instigation, Bravanschio became angry. He did not find peace until he confronted Othello. But when he visited Othello's residence, he saw guards of the Duke of Venice stationed there to prevent violence.

The news came that the Turks were going to invade Cyprus. Othello was summoned to advise the senators. Bravanschio was forced to accompany Othello to the Duke's residence. There Bravancio accuses Othello of seducing Desdemona through witchcraft.

Defending himself before the Duke of Venice, Bravandcio's relatives Ludovico and Gratiano, and other senators, Othello said Desdemona fell in love with him after hearing the tragic story of his life before coming to Venice.

He did not subdue Desdemona with any magic spell. The Senate is satisfied with his statement. Desdemona also admits that she loves Othello.

The Catcher In The Rye

"The Catcher in the Rye" is one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. It is composed. The book will remain at the top of popularity if surveyed and surveyed.

A 16-year-old boy ran away from school. The two-day expedition through the streets and alleys of New York City, and the unique pioneer that will emerge from that experience, may have surpassed even the writer's imagination.

The main character in this book is Holden Coffield. When you read the book, you will imagine that main character in yourself. You will see your shadow in the middle of that main character, imagine yourself on the streets of New York. One study found that at least one in 18 teenagers read this book. Holden Cofield's explorer.

However, many critics believe that this anti-human, rebellious attitude is a reflection of the author himself. Many believe that the author has shaped Holden's character from his own life experiences. Because, like Salinger, Holden was controversial in Hollywood.

His resentment towards the silver screen has been born since his childhood and this resentment is increasing day by day. At one point he wanted to be an actor, just like the Holden character, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the movie.

So every time there has been an attempt to turn this story into a movie, he has rejected it. He even went so far as to say that Holden was the only character he could have. But by then he had lost that age.

That is why this iconic character has not yet seen the face of cinema and there is considerable doubt as to whether he will be seen in the future. However, many actors are willing to accept Holden's character with interest.

Many popular actors, including Jack Nicholson and Ethan Hawke, have expressed their desire to play the role of Holden in public. But John Cusack lamented on his 21st birthday, "I can't be Holden anymore." Famous authors like Spielberg and Billy Wilder have been disappointed by not getting the copyright of the book.

But Salinger has managed to set up a trust fund so that no movie is made about Holden's character. He has tried his best to save the story from Hollywood producers and producers. This desperate attempt by him proves just how popular "The Catcher in the Rye" is today.
