=**Group 2-3- William Shakespeare Quotes In Brave New World:**= Shakespeare's works are mostly classics. People think his novels and plays and have stayed around because of two key things; he understood human nature and he possessed wisdom that included varied interests and outlooks. These gifts allowed him to create amazing plots and varied characters from the young to the old. Just some of Shakespeare's knowledge include: music, law, the Bible, politics, the ocean, history, hunting, sports, and of course, theater. He understood people, which made him able to portray those characters accurately. Shakespeare lived in the late fifteen hundreds.

Scene V act I Miranda says it she has never really seen that many people in her life. She thinks that they are all beautiful and the world seems new to her now that she has seen these people

Insight into BNW: In Brave New World, John, on page 216, says "O brave new world, O brave new world...," when he sees all the beautiful people that are in BNW, like Lenina. While in //The Tempest//, in Scene V Act I, Miranda who has been on this island for her whole life and has not seen another soul, except her father. It shocks Miranda and John both because they have never seen such people before. John was isolated in the Savage Reservation, and Miranda was isolated on the island.

 * Quote from Romeo and Juliet and BNW:**

John/Romeo: "On the white wonder of dear Juliet's hand may seize and steal immortal blessing form her lips, who even in pure and vestal modesty, Still blush, as thinking their own kisses in sin."

John says this describing Lenina and Romeo says it describing Juliet. John and Romeo have a the purest love that someone could have. In both cases each had only know their love for only a few days. Both Romeo and John think of their loves as angels, someone that is above all other creatures. Also, both affairs end up in tragedy.

Shakespeare's Othello is a story of love and tragedy. Othello, Roderigo, and Lago, fight for the right to marry Desdemona. Desdemona marries Othello, a rival lieutenant of Lago. Lago and Roderigo take matters to the senate and claim that Othello used magic to lure Desdemona. This plan fails, but it deepens the dislike between Othello and Lago. Needed in Cyprus for battle against the Turks, Othello and Desdemona, followed by Lago and Roderigo, travel to Cyprus and meet Cassio. Cassio is immediately attracted to Desdemona. Lago says that Desdemona will grow tired of Othello, and will seek sexual pleasures elsewhere. Lago fears these sexual pleasures will be with Cassio. Lago plans to frame Cassio and Desdemona as lovers to annoy Othello. Lago plants Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's bedroom. Lago kills Roderigo in a fit of rage, and swears he will kill Cassio. Othello kills his wife, Desdemona for having affairs with other men. When Othello realizes that Desdemona didn't have an affair, he weeps and tries to kill Lago, but fails. When Othello hears he is needed back in Venice to be tried, he kills himself, wishing to be remembered. The play ends with the execution of Lago. http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/othello/summary.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Othello Quote used in Othello and BNW John/Othello: " O thou weed, who are so lovely fair and smell'st so sweet that the sense aches at thee. Was this most goodly book made to write 'whore' upon?" In BNW, John uses this quote to describe Lenina. John had thought of Lenina as an idol, something to worship. When she removed her clothes to show what her society does as affection, this insults John who believes that sex should come after marriage. Because of this, he calls Lenina a goodly book made to write whore upon. In Othello, Othello believes that his fair wife, Desdemona, was sleeping with someone else ( though she was really framed). Like John, he had previously thought that Desdemona was someone to worship. Unlike BNW, Othello calls his wife a whore because he thought she was sleeping with someone else instead of him. Shakespeare's //King Lear// is a story of tragedy. King Lear of Britain is aging, and decides to step down from and divide his kingdom among his three daughters. Lear first puts his daughters up to a test, asking each of them to explain to him how much they love him. Goneril and Regan, each give their father glowing answers. Cordelia, Lear's third daughter, remains silent, saying she has no words to express how much she loves her father. Lear becomes enraged, and rejects Cordelia.

Lear slowly goes insane. When the elderly noblemen, Gloucester realizes that Lear's daughter's have turned against their father, he decides to help Lear in spite of the danger. Regan and her husband, Cornwall discover this relationship, accuse Gloucester of treason, and exile him. Gloucester wanders to Dover, where Lear has been brought. In Dover, a French army lands led by Cordelia to try to rescue king Lear. Regan has an affair with Edmund, Gloucester's illegitimate son. The two plot to kill Regan's current husband, Albany.

They kill us for their sport." Both John and Gloucester believe that the world is unjust. For John, he believes that the world is unjust because it killed his mother Linda and it has created such a society that goes against his every moral. For Gloucester, it is because he has been blinded and exiled from his land for something he did not commit. Both believes that the world is out of order and is run the wrong way.
