![1878 Othello Theater Poster [16 x 20 Poster]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51SaveiwGdL._SL160_.jpg)
William Shakespeare wrote some of the most poignant and lasting literature of his time. The plays he wrote explored the depth of human emotion and experience; giving a sense of timelessness that allows readers to relate to his works even today. Othello was a tragedy written by Shakespeare that centered on betrayal, love, jealousy and racism. Shown in this print is actor John McCullough dressed in full costume as the character of Othello. Shakespeare continues to be a remembered writer because of beautiful prose and timeless characters that loved and lost but always got what they earned.

Moby Dick (2006)

The most authentic version of Herman Melville's
classic best seller ever produced. Old Vic trained actor Jack Aranson gives life to Melville's poetic Shakespearean dialogue. Its a high lofty prose with many layers of meaning similar to the Bible.Newly mastered DVD first released in November 2005 through Amazon.It was produced by veteran Producer John Robert and Directed by Paul Stanley who spent over 20 years as a DGA Director on 100 high profile TV series including Hallmark Hall of Fame.
"As Ahab,Mr Aranson takes on stature. He reaches up to confront the stars.His chest expands. His voice is a trumpet, roaring over the sound of the sea. His eyes glitter with frenzy. It is a brilliant performance."
Elliot Norton, Boston Herald American
"To devise a version of MOBY DICK as a . . .theatre piece comes under the heading of 'They said it coundn't be done.'Jack Aranson has done it superbly."

What would you maybe pair the names up with?
Does the book/author make you more or less likely to consider the name?
I was just shocked when I stumbled across this article on "literary" names, and these are what they had listed!!
Not that all are bad... but there are some that are horrendous!

Resolved Question: Why do people like tragedies in books and movies? What's to like?
I just finished reading a tragedy, "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" which is a best seller often compared to Hamlet. I hated the ending. I feel cheated in a tragedy, like the author was just too lazy to tie up the loose ends. Why are they so popular? (Shakespeare, The Departed, American Beauty, etc)
I'll concede that it's nice to have variety in endings. I don't have to have a happy ending, but laving excessive lose ends as W did in Sawtell is cheating your reader.

Resolved Question: How long does Canada track Americans refused entry?
I may have mentioned once before, in crossing the North Dakota, Manitoba border, I got refused entry in December 2007 because 1) I appeared nervous but had done nothing wrong, 2) I planned to return back to the states less than 12 hours later than I planned to go to Winnipeg, and 3) I mentioned the first name of a girl I knew inside Winnipeg who I wasn't planning to see. My story to customs was non-criminal, a bit bizarre, but the guy decisioned to deny me entry for the day and I really couldn't do anything about it. I did NOTHING wrong but I couldn't change their minds.
In July 2008 I had tickets to the Winnipeg Folk Fest, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, a Manitoba provincial parks pass, a binder and a 7-day itinerary printed out, and I had a well planned trip to Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Everyone said getting in this time would be no issue. It turned out, it WAS an issue. Emerson, Manitoba remembered the first name of the girl I mentioned 7 months earlier when I was refused entry. They paid extra attention to my crossing because of the earlier refused entry, they even searched my cell phone and asked me to type in my email password, in doing so they saw I still was writing to the girl with the first name I mentioned in December, a girl who had no issue with me coming to Canada.
They deferred letting me in until they could contact the girl over the phone to ensure I wasn't stalking her which they wouldn't believe me when I said I wasn't. They finally reached her and she said there's no problem letting me in, so the Canada border finally stamped my passport.
When I came home later and called the Canada customs line, there's some 1-800 number I managed to fine and got to speak with a Canadian customs official. They said I was showing 2 refused entries and then an acceptance from the same border crossing.
How long does this information get kept? Do the refused entries get held against me forever eventhough I got accepted after the refusals and the refusals were not based on illegal manuevers?
But just knowing me on YA, you all can see I'm a strange character, eh? You can see why someone like me would get misinterpreted.
But because of that experience, I feel less confident crossing into Canada, especially at that border crossing.
Also I think Canada is shaped in such a way that driving East to West, it's actually faster to cross out of Canada then back into Canada West of Ontario.
And from my experience, crossing into Western Canada is much stricter than crossing into lower Ontario or Quebec.

Resolved Question: What has happened to the English language of Shakespeare, is it the yanks fault at removing the u's?
green eyed monster really, I digress, anyway what's happening to the print media, and on the internet, why is so much of the English language being hacked to bits and replaced with gobbledygook. I say English folks, as there is no such language as American, its all slang and torment of our language.
