As always I love the language and seeing the tables turn who joy ave the journey characters go on, but I still struggle with the concept of this story, which is my reaction to reading the play cold. I have never studied it or seen it performed where I could view it differently. The focus is the web of lies by Irago and the tragic fall of Othello, but I will always resonate most with Desdemona so will always struggle to be any thing other than angry.
