I read this in preparation of annotating a copy for a friend in a few months. Having not delved deeply into Shakespeare’s body of work, I was pleasantly surprised. Jealousy can make people do crazy things. The way Lago’s motivations are never clearly expressed, yet is slowly manipulating everyone around him in order to fulfill his narrative purpose.
