About Me
- Jackie
- Since I began my tenure teaching high school English in 1998, I have taught British Literature, Composition II, Journalism, Creative Writing, English 10 and World Literature. I enjoy reading my favorite magazines, Newsweek , People and National Geographic, doing crossword and Sudoku puzzles, and settling down with a good book in front of the fireplace. My husband Mike is a criminal defense attorney, and we have two children, Joe, a recent college graduate, and Sarah, a junior high student.

One of the important lessons I learned from this play was the importance of the principle, "innocent until proven guilty." Othello's tragic flaw, his jealousy, led him to make rash decisions, and seek out vigilante justice before getting all sides of the story.
The important life lesson I learned from Othello was to stay out of others affairs. You must not allow your feelings of jealousy to propel you to take action and create bad situations for yourself and others. Be accountable for your actions, but above all be responsible in the actions you choose to make.
I think that one of the most amazing parts of Othello is how it incorporates such universal themes and drama, and can easily be translated into today’s times as depicted with the movie O. Although somewhat disturbing, the play and especially the movie (O not the old fashion one), show how jealously and deception can reap havoc on society.
