No One Dead Yet
Although I have already answered this question in the blog over acts I-III, I feel like some of the questions or guesses I posed have been answered or resolved. Like previously states, this play is a tragedy. I am very surprised Shakespeare waited until Act V to have someone die. I feel like he decided to do this to add suspense to the play and keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Also, feel like the suspense added to Iago's plan and how long he could keep it up without getting caught. Eventually, Iago's plan started to crumble once the first person died. With each dead person, Iago was put farther and farther in a hole until he was caught. Because the play was a tragedy, someone had to die, but I thought Iago would be dead too.

February
The central theme of this poem is to call people to "make it be spring" and go do something instead of laying in bed all day or being unproductive. Essentially, the author is comparing cat behavior with human behavior. Cats like to lie around all day, relaxing, not giving a care about anything. They usually don't run and take their time to get from one place to another. More or less, they can be very lazy. In the poem, the speaker acts very much like a cat, staying in bed, eating, and watching hockey all day. Even though it is winter and it may be very cold, one should get out of bed and do something. They need to "get rid of death, celebrate increase, [and] make it be spring."
