I finished reading Othello yesterday. I feel like it’s a warning to beware truly malevolent people, as exemplified by Iago. Most people aren’t wholly evil I don’t think. Most people have flaws, such as Othello’s jealousy, Roderigo’s covetousness nature for Desdemona, or the underlying prejudice that most the characters have towards Othello since he’s a Moor; but most of them aren’t wholly evil. Iago is the exception, and throughout the entire play weaves these lies to manipulate and deceive all the other characters into doing evil acts and ultimately killing one another. Some of them, such as his wife Emilia, just do it because he asks them to. I see this play as a warning to always be slightly suspicious of other’s motives, because a single evil individual with a strong force of will can incite a group of unsuspecting people into enacting a tragedy if left unquestioned.

Actually he did speak to her, but he didn't explicitly say that she's cheating with Cassio. When Othello asked her about the whereabouts of the handkerchief, Desdemona lied (she couldn't find it and since Othello gave it to her, it has sentimental value - perhaps a good analogy is losing a wedding ring/some sentimental jewelry.) She was scared that he would find out it's lost, but she had no idea that of what she was being accused of. Since she could not show Othello the handkerchief to prove that she had it, Othello believed she was lying and gave it to/lost it by Cassio. Othello began to resent her for this lie, and it only made Iago's accusations seem true. He did try to talk to her (also, keep in mind that Othello's nature is that he isn't great at communication as he spent most of his life in the military), but her small (seemingly insignificant) lie gave Othello a reason not to trust her, which eventually escalated the situation at the end of the play ( where Desdemona asked Othello to wait for a few minutes because she will prove her innocence, but Othello killed her instead because he believed that she was lying again, even when she was about to be killed.)

Othello’s backstory must be taken into account. Perhaps it was something in his hard childhood that made him fall so easily into Iago’s evil intentions of insecurity, hate, and, eventually, murder. Iago served under Othello for years, so he’s reckoned to know something of his past.

A Moroccan Ambassador influence Shakespeare’s Othello. There's an oil painting in University of Birmingham shows the Moroccan Ambassador who visited London in late 1600. Abd el-Ouahed ben Messaoud ben Mohammed Anoun was part of a delegation of 17 men sent by the King of Morocco. The purpose of the visit was to negotiate with Queen Elizabeth I about the possibility of a military alliance, combining English and African forces to conquer Spain.

It is from the Resonance period, meaning it is a throwback to the original Greek tragedy type plays. Hence he wrote tragedy and comedy. What makes it hard to understand is not the plot. The plot is an easy one redone a thousand times. It is the language Shakespeare uses filling his texts with metaphors, alliterations and half rhymes. However it is the use of metaphors that creates images in the mind and this is the true genius of the Author. If you need help in understanding the concepts buy this version.

If you really don't like reading Othello, because it's english is so old that only nanny could really understand it, I recomend to you watching two or three movie versions, since Shakespiere is not only about tragedy, when you realize the naughty language used on it... AAAANNDDD You must know that at this time English wasn't as stibilized as today, and some words used could be misunterpreted, and pronuntiation of somewords could sound as someother word!! Shakespeare meant to make laugh the public, but he had both high society members and low society one too, so for one's there was this naugthy language and for the other was the tragedy of the story. This video is a good Othello's story resume but it negliges all the finest english expressions and possible language misunderstandings that makes it fun!

I see a lot of fellow students here saying their thanks and that this video saved them. Because they have a paper or exam or something about the story tomorrow. Well... As someone who actually has read the story to its fullest and worked on it in school, I advise you not to use a 9min summary video as your replacement for reading the story... Don't get me wrong, this is a good summary. But you miss a lot of details from the text by only watching this video, and in school assignments about a text; Details are very important. So to any students getting the idea to just watch this instead of reading Othello: Don't. Just read the story instead and start in good time. Don't bother trying to cheese your way around it. It doesn't work like that.

+Truffledor Animations It was great thanks, we did it for the Shakespeare festival so there were along with us a few other Shakespeare performances (different age ranges) so it was interesting to see how far your acting skills could advance, the other shows were absolutely great but very confusing....as we all learnt the lines in the traditional Shakespeare language..!

Othello´s ethnicity(?) caused a lot of debates in my English class. My classmates were quite obsessed with race and they pretty much pounced on the opportunity to label him as a black man. A Moore in that time period, if I remember correctly, is pretty much a foreigner with tan/dark skin. (Middle Eastern/North African) Plus...North Africans are usually not dark so I never really understood why Othello was always portrayed with very dark skin. (There is nothing wrong with dark skin. I simply feel like people made too many conclusions.) Anyway. This video was terrific! The art was wonderful! I almost wanted to read it again!
