A review by mellodrama
Othello by William Shakespeare

2.0

Not my favorite among the Shakespeare's. I guess it was because the cast of characters was pretty small compared to the others. Maybe it's just because I had the impression that all the characters were incredibly weak and dumb for falling for Iago's tricks like that. And the ending, I mean, yeah three people died, but it still felt really anticlimatic. By the time the ending came around, I couldn't wait for Othello's suicide to get over with because, yeah, you knew it was coming, but of course he has to impart to every single character on the set his immense tragedy and oh the horror I killed me wife because I'm too stupid to realize she was telling the truth all along. Yeah. All in all, it still had the whole Shakespearian genius in the literary elements, but plot-wise and character-wise, not my favorite.
