Week 8 Scene-Response

The clip I picked was from Act 3 where Emilia finds the handkerchief. Iago is played by Sir Ian McKellan, which was sort of surprising because I never would have pictured him in a play like this. And then I was surprised that I was surprised by it. Of course Ian McKellan has done Shakespeare! What hasn't he done? Okay, he is not in any of the Twilight movies (as far as I know, anyway), but pretty much everything else, yes.

What I took from this scene I got from reading along with the actors, which helped a lot. I could see their faces and get some of their feelings from that. A play is hard to get emotion from for me, because the word "Ha!" could mean a bunch of different things on the page, but when watching it, I could see what she meant by saying it.
