Othello notes and background

[@roryz2596]

I'm loving the emphasis on "Because Shakespeare /did die/" at the start of the video, as if most of us believe Shakespeare is some kind of immortal literature god who currently controls all school English curriculums

but also this was a damn good video so thnx :)))

Great video! Only thing I would disagree with is that I believe Othello's tragic flaw is more up for interpretation. Some believe that Othello's immediate trust of dishonest characters could be the flaw, his self-centred attitude brewing from this, or (as stated) his immediate, but to a certain extent justified, jealousy.

this really helped me thank you? what would be some good discussion for act 5?

[@jacobchristianglover3655]

Praise God! You are awesome, exactly what I was looking for! Would you please share your sources with me? Be well Ms. Lancaster.

Jacob Christian Glover So sorry I spaced and missed this question! My information is cobbled together from a variety of sources, including the intro materials for the RSC and Riverside editions of Shakespeare anthologies.
