This week's prompts:
Othello Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul;
But I do love thee! and when I love thee not,
Chaos is come again.
Shakespeare, Othelloe, III, iii, 90
2/3/1870: The 15th Amendment was passed, granting blacks the right to vote.
The format of your response is up to you.
Consider:
- Does the excerpt from Othello remind you of someone in your life or someone else's relationship?
- Maybe, you can write about what you believe the right to vote has meant for African-Americans as well as others who were initially denied it.
