A review by marc129
Othello by William Shakespeare

4.0

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
