The best Shakespeare I’ve ever read! Iago is one of the most well thought out and well crafted characters in literature

Surprisingly thrilling. It feels like the walls are closing in on you and that you're watching a train wreck in slow motion, unable to do anything about it.

Also surprisingly progressive for its time. Sad to think about how this is less racist and sexist than many (much more modern) American works.
