It had been a while since I had read Shakespeare. As usual, it took me time to adapt to the narrative style. I take this opportunity to say that the method (as well as the translation, my level is far from being good enough for the original) is magnificent, especially Othello's tirades which I often find full of lyricism. The character of Othello himself is fascinating, with so much quality, and yet very destructive, like any good tragic hero. I wondered about Shakespeare's choice of a Moorish hero. Relations with the Ottoman world were in good shape at writing, with an ambassador recently visiting London. A little historical discovery is the icing on the cake.
But the character I like the most is undoubtedly the puppeteer of this tragedy, the famous Iago! At some point, when he seems too omniscient, Iago artfully deploys the strings of his revenge, which is much more critical than the "wrong" at the beginning. I recommend a great time with this classic to anyone wanting to get into Shakespeare.

A work of racism, love, jealousy, and betrayal that remains very current in our society.
This edition of the work is excellent, and I had the opportunity to read it.

"I will incontinently drown myself."
the best part was actually not this quote but Iago putting the image of him and cassio kissing "hard" in my head.
