Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army and his unfaithful ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.

Shakespeare's Sonnets is the title of a collection of 154 sonnets by William Shakespeare, which covers themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality. The first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man; the last 28 to a woman. The sonnets are almost all constructed from three quatrains, which are four-line stanzas, and a final couplet composed in iambic pentameter. This is also the meter used extensively in Shakespeare's plays. The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. Sonnets using this scheme are known as Shakespearean sonnets. Often, the beginning of the third quatrain marks the volta ("turn"), or the line in which the mood of the poem shifts, and the poet expresses a revelation or epiphany.

"I think you should stop being so mean to me, Zahed." "Why would I ever do that?" Aryan grins, a bright, wicked thing. "Because I kiss you like this." • Mira Zahed and Aryan Shankar are at war. When her best friend and his cousin decide to fall in love, Mira and Aryan do the complete opposite. Neither of them can get rid of the other, bound together by their doe-eyed lovebird best friends for all eternity, so it appears. However, sooner or later, Mira and Aryan's rivalry extends past the biting brunches and hot glares across the UCLA campus, to a series of kisses that burn like hellfire and three whispered words that glow brighter than the hot hatred they'd risen from. But even when Aryan kisses her like no one else, Mira still just might kill him one of these days. After all, they were at war. © archeronta 2020
