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.

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar (First Folio title: The Tragedie of Iulius Cæsar) is a history play and tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1599. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, which also include Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra. Although the play is named Julius Caesar, Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines as the title character; and the central psychological drama of the play focuses on Brutus' struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism, and friendship.

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.

𝓢𝔂𝓷𝓸𝓹𝓼𝓲𝓼: "What did you call me?" I asked him in fury. "A pup?" he replied, smirking at my fuming face. I hit hit him on the back of his knee, making him lean forward. "I'm going to rip your throat out if you called me pup once again. I can sense that you hold some title." "I can smell that your Alpha is close by. You better let me go before you get in a hot water for attacking your guest," he said without using the command in his deep husky voice. As an Alpha, I didn't want to leave the terrible impression on my guest so I tried to calm down my raging hormones and let him go. He got up and dusted his clothes with the smug smile. He was wearing perfectly fitted jeans and a brown leather jacket with a white t-shirt underneath. His dark brown hair was slicked back and his glacier-like eyes stared at me. "Can you still smell the Alpha?" I asked him, amused. He took the lungful air and let out his breath. "Of course, the smell is stronger now." I walked closer to him with the smirk on my face. "I'm Alpha Aria Woods, its a pleasure to have you here on my territory." I said, extending my hand towards him when a loud growl came from behind me. Suddenly, I was hit with the most enchanting smell. It made my body shudder with raving pleasure. _______________________________________________ Aria Woods is a beautiful girl and the only female Alpha in Alaska. She is strong, bold, and possessive.
