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.

"The Landlady," by Roald Dahl, is a chilling tale that teaches readers that when something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Although readers never find out what exactly happened to Billy Weaver, it can be inferred that his outcome was not a good one. Billy's brief involvement with the landlady most likely ended in his fatal demise. This is a sequel to Roald Dahl's "The Landlady." Enjoy! (I'm beginning from where the story left off. Link is down below for "The Landlady.") http://www.nexuslearning.net/books/holt-eol2/collection%203/landlady.htm

The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610-1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to cause his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to believe they are shipwrecked and marooned on the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son, Ferdinand.
