Othello

My second attempt at reading Shakespeare outside of school, saw me attempt to try to get to grips with Othello... Shakespeare's powerful drama set around an inter-racial marriage! A truly immense piece of work as the love of the couple (Othello and Desdemona) looks like it can overcome their multitude of differences, but for the machinations of Iago. Set in Venice and Cyprus to boot!
I enjoyed this a lot more than MacBeth, but still struggled with the language and the nuances, and also kind of pissed off with what feels like the bass stupidity of Othello! 4 out of 12, Two Star read.

Great review , Baba. 😐 um, yeah. Shakespeare's literary work does test the patience of many (most). I remember struggling with ELA back in school days, courtesy Shakespeare. He haunts me. 👻

Right PB. I wish more people would admit to finding them difficult reads :)
What a flashback to school days :) great review, Baba, i don’t mind grinding my teeth for a book that’s worth it. If memory serves, this isn’t the case.

I'm impressed that you're giving Shakespeare a second chance. I had more than enough of him in school. Your review was impressive Baba!
