Othello

Music and movie clips illustrate a powerful way to send a message. The killer's "Mr. Brightside" and a compilation of "Othello" merge surprisingly well. The song and compilation become in sync. The scene of Othello choking Iago in the sea matches well with "jealousy, turning saints to the sea ... choking on your alibis." In Iago's monologue, the audience can see how evil, he is. In the beginning, Iago admits and acknowledges to being a villain. In comparison to the Tim Blake Nelson's "O", the character Hugo (Iago) never reveals this, verbally. Hugo presents no motif for his actions. The viewers must assume that, Hugo is mentally disturbed. When Iago says "When devils will the blackest sins put on, they do suggest at first with heavenly shows" he is justifying his actions of manipulation. This example is like leaving raw meat on the ground and seeing if a dog eats it. Iago sets a trap and free will determine a victim's fate.

Trifles

In drama, it is better to observe a play rather than read one. The two videos about Susan Glaspell's "Trifles" illustrate different perspectives about the play. Both videos show the main points of the story. Utilizing the videos, the setting of the story line becomes more mysterious and suspenseful. The music adds to the mood and may give people the chills. The flashbacks make the story very clear about Mrs. Wright's motive to kill Mr. Wright. In the original play, the reader is left with an unclear ending and the rest is left to the imagination. Rather than being read, drama comes alive through performance.
