Iago is one of the most compelling villains I've ever seen, period. Fascinating – definitely my favorite Shakespeare play.

1.0

shakespeare did not write othello to be a hero….he wrote a black man who was the exception to the stereotype and became civilized! all so much fun right!? he is compared to an animal a number of times and eventually ‘returns to his roots’ and unleashes the horrid black animal inside him. this is unbelievably racist and i cant imagine how this is so many peoples favorite shakespeare play. on top of that the characters were not fully developed or relatable and the only redeemable quality was emilia
