Othello by William Shakespeare
5.0
As with a lot of Shakespeare plays, most of the characters in this play make you facepalm with their naivete and/or stupidity. Frequently. In fact, the only character I really came close to admiring (since he brilliantly - well, almost - plays everyone else to achieve his goals; imagine if his skills were used for good) was Iago.
This was a fascinating play about love, treachery, emotional manipulation, pride and about putting your trust in the right people. It was easier to read as well compared to many other works of Shakespeare.
Once again, the commentary in this audiobook was of great help in really appreciating the play as it did an excellent job not only in explaining it but also in detailing the historical context to various specific events or aspects in the play.
