A review by britlaccetti
Othello by William Shakespeare
4.0
I have read this play a couple of times now. The first time was difficult as I was in High School and did not care about Shakespeare's dramatic technique. But, now that I am older I think I appreciated this story a lot more.
The only thing that I do not like about this play is that Othello is the "tragic hero". I do not believe his demise is tragic or that he is a hero at all. I feel like Othello let his jealousy get the best of him, therefore I am not empathic for Othello. Because of this, I feel like the play as a whole doesn't connect me as it connects others.
