Shakespeare really knows what he's doing when he writes these plays. I was enthralled while reading about the layered deceptive ploy Iago crafts to ruin the lives of the cast, but somehow was still satisfied at the end. This book makes me want to check out more tragedies, both Shakespeare's and other's.

فاجعه ای حساب شده و دقیق
ترجمه هم که حرف نداشت
جدا از جذابیت، درس برای یاد گرفتن زیاد داشت

has anyone heard the theory that shakespeare was just a pen name used by multiple playwrights? this play proves that wrong because it’s just a remix of every other shakespeare play. so is every other shakespeare play

working my way through shakespeare’s bibliography and this is among the first I’ve encountered I genuinely dislike. othello’s just.. bad huh! this deserves to fade into obscurity given there are MUCH better plays in his oeuvre. I’m shocked this is held in such high regard as it is

Yeah, I'm not going to rate Shakespeare on a one-to-five-star scale.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But I would happily hand my wallet over for a retelling from Desdemona's POV written by a(n) Black/Arab/Berber woman/femme.
