Cast of O

I just wanted to reflect on the cast of O. I thought that they did a good job casting these people as the characters of Othello. It was helpful to put a face with a character. I found myself assimilating the cast of O into Othello. The cast of Othello translated into O pretty well I thought. Othello was Oden. Desdemona was Dessi. Iago was Hugo. Cassio was Michael (the only name that doesn't really sound similiar). Amelia was Emily. Rodrigo was Roger. Although the cast was able to be transformed into present day I still do not feel the concept of the play and now movie is universal. It was just too much for a high school setting. Regardless if it was a private boarding school or not.
