Written around 1603, a claustrofobic tragedy, about jealousy and gossip, a one-theme-drama.
The intrigue is more important than the characters. Great unity of time and space (except I), blind fate dominates.
-Othello: Negro, noble and simple, powerful, but no subtlety, he's under the spell of his obsession (jealousy)
-Jago: fascinating, complex type, power-hungry villain, ice cold monster, entangled in his own intrigues, but has no other choice

One of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies, and one I enjoyed the most, to date.

I understood most of this and found it funny to see the word, "chuck", which is what we, in these here parts, still use as a term of endearment.

A good lesson to be learned by all: Don't make any rash decisions before finding out the whole truth.
