Did Iago kill emilia?

Anyone else notice that the characters heads are shaped like the first letter of their names

Yo Keen observer Man 🎉🎉🎉

[@Alexyct]

bruh, thats pretty good detail to add to the characters 😂😂😂

[@shreya7944]

wow I never realised i always wondered those weird shapes

[@doubledeckyomom]

I was so distracted by it aha

[@bjgoodrich5864]

I did!😸

[@_sd9394]

Lol, imagine Cassio waking up and everyone is either dead or arrested after an one-night sleep

[@lysaali50]

imagine waking up and seeing a merchant spitting upon someone in their jewish gabardine!

[@shreya7944]

@@lysaali50 . . . wait what?

[@hanksadmireraynrandismyfav9853]

And the Jew is converted by force too. Knowing the Venetians in Shakespeare plays, Cassio would probably join in the taunting. Nice Merchant of Venice reference.@@lysaali50

Finally a good and clear summary of Shakespeare's famous tragedy, spoken clearly with the right speed. Many other summaries speak so fast that the ideas get confused. Thank you!

[@SchoolingOnline]

This is wonderful to hear, thank you for the great feedback and taking the time to leave a comment. We appreciate the support!

[@latifsajdi9537]

Right

[@monalisasanka8195]

💯Agree

[@lemphl]

Welp, actually, nobody getting a happy ending's not true, Cassio becomes the governor of Cyprus and his arch-nemesis is defeated. Pretty nice play if you rooted for Cassio all along.

[@analogueclock4580]

The Turks actually aren't turned away and return, which the audience at that time would be well aware of. Even tho Cassio takes Othello's place as general, they're all still going to die when the Turks take them off guard. It's a bit of irony in there👍🍊

[@zachleetch8138]

@@analogueclock4580 That's right. Also, just because he's technically still alive at the end of the play doesn't mean he has a happy ending. He'd accidentally played an instrumental role in a plot that got two of his friends killed. Not a moment of triumph for Cassio.

[@seerin]

I'm currently studying Othello for English, I was looking for a video to summarize the full story and turns out this video helped a lot! Thanks for that. The ending was completely unexpected.

[@aarenbriano2]

This helped me a lot and I could understand everything. I'm Italian and a lot of summaries are too fast for me and without subtitles, so it's very hard for me to understand properly. This is great!

[@SchoolingOnline]

That's so great to hear, thank you for leaving a comment! All the best :)

[@hunkosarshow52]

That one is the best summary, it helped me a lot though

Glad it was helpful!

[@matalekalum]

This is the best summary I have come across so far. Thanks a lot.

Really you have done a great job . I think this is the best plot summary I found in Othello .

[@Hanni.suby_]

more info: Othello kisses Desdemona before dying (thats the last thing he does) And Emilia didn't believe it when Othello told her that Iago told him that Desdemona was cheating on him.

[@manasichavan4914]

Is it only me who sometimes feels like Shakespeare's characters lacked in common sense...?

[@maramzaim3949]

literally! it could've all been solved with one conversation lol

[@ahmadharrison9943]

@@maramzaim3949 hell yeah! There would be a ton failed marriages if that’s all it takes to convince somebody

I think Cassio gets a kind of happy ending since he is promoted at the end to General

[@roarkm.o.banjonjeffries3713]

Cassiopeia what a star

I like the drawings there funny and they look good

[@nearrow]

[@mrclangclang4360]

[@autumngargus9301]

Nobody gets a happy ending except Cassio, who becomes a governor but can never walk again.

[@Sobiaaaaaa]

the characters got done so dirty💀

[@roarkm.o.banjonjeffries3713]

Sounds like Romeo and Juliet could be a freaking ramp to a runway. Run runway
