Othello is a Shakespearean tragedy surrounding the military general Othello, a man whose insecurities and irrational jealousy become his downfall.

I...enjoyed Othello, more than I thought I would. I needed to read the eBook alongside an audiobook to stay engaged and immersed, but the combination of both made a really interesting reading experience I've never had before.

Historical literary works aren't really my thing, so this isn't one of my favorites, but I don't consider it bad either. The main characters are well-written (except Iago, he feels too 2d to me). I like the exploration of and intentional ambiguity of story elements, such as the extent of Othello's jealousy. Additionally, while I didn't catch most of them, the hidden themes, motifs, and symbolism are all intriguing and reveal neat parts of the story once you learn about them.

I had to knock it a start because my English teacher was explaining every other line to me in order for me to understand what was going on.
