Othello (Lecture; Cultural Context)

[@Steviefan2022]

Great video. Could you help answer a question? In Othello In what ways is Shakespeare hinting at England’s politics of the time?

[@DennisGJerzSHU]

That sounds rather like a homework question to me. What do you know about the politics of England at the time? What were some debates, controversies, discoveries, or problems Shakespeare’s contemporaries were facing (or ignoring) at the time? Where in the play do the characters face (or avoid, or at least talk about) similar issues?
