what in the world is this

Iago shoulda been voted out act 1 at most. That sussy boy got away with the worse mongus game in history.

This may be the worst audiobook recording of all time

Great book I’m going to listen to it again Nice job Gordon!

Thank god I only have to read like 3 chapters and the libervox recordings don't even have time stamps

Why is there complaining over the quality of a free audiobook?

Walden is a complete work of fiction. His biographers trash him. He lived like a Bougie and wrote like a cloistered monk. He literally ate his mom's or Mrs. Emmerson's food daily while scolding the F out of all of us for not being as "tough" & "minimalistic" as he. Walden as a project was started because he had enraged one transcendentalist and got kicked the @#$% out of another's house for clinginess. Thoreau was a VERY American writer. Today he'd be driving an SUV while hating you for not loving the environment. While we're at it, why did Emmerson need so many worshippers/acolytes? Yeah, most everything pales under close inspection. I just pulled a Thoreau on Thoreau and he was found wanting. Funny af. Look it up.

What is the effect of the “Willow Song” and the interruptions to it?

Emilia is Iagos wife, and was sent to accompany Desdemona but is deceiving her(lying about the handkerchief) for Iago. 10. Identify and explain two examples of irony found in Act III, Scene 3.

Who had the handkerchief at the end of Act 3? Why? Bianca because Cassio gave it to her when he wanted the copy. I’ve finished reading othello today, the rest of the answers will be on their respective acts within some minutes

I mean like he could have just talked to Desdemona and maybe not killed her

Act Two 1. Where are we as Act 2 begins? What is the situation at sea? What has happened to the Turkish fleet?

I wonder how many people think like him

Maybe he was insane

Walden has a giant vocabulary, however dying at 44 he also criticized so many things I consider he an Overthinker I have seen this with many people in my life who do the same If he would've not been so critical on some of his beliefs I think he would've lived a longer life

Hi

This guy had allot to say
