Lisette- I think Shakespeare wouldn't be able to write this story good as an actual story but someone else may have been. I think it would have to be changed a lot and filled with details but it could make it a lot better and intense. Shakespeare is wonderful at writing plays though and he should stick with it because Othello is a really interesting and strange book. It suits his writing style completely. Maybe someone can remake Othello into a modern day version and it can become a strong story with a lot of details but still confusing vocabulary and terminologies.

Karen- I think that the story of Othello would have the same impact if it were written as a story. The only difference between a play and a story is the formatting. Things like expression and secret thoughts could all be incorporated into a story. The plot, the climax, the characters, the setting are all still there. The only difference would be the format of which everything would be presented. Even if “Othello” is written as a play, it is still a story.
