This play was definitely interesting to read. I really enjoyed Emilia's character and the commentary on women's role in society and in a marriage. It's a very dramatic play, almost reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, but with a more impactful message and commentary throughout.

Othello is insecure. Iago is a manipulative bastard. The women die. Bog standard Shakespeare play really.
