Othello: The Moor of Venice by William Shakespeare
5.0
WOW!
i honestly feel like i need a lie down after reading this. the last act, especially.
i went into this knowing only that iago is one of the best villains ever, and that a hankerchief with strawberry embroidery would play a big role. and both of these proved true.
but what i loved the most was the small and intimate cast of characters. it was almost claustrophobic, and iago's masterful control dominated all. he was unrelentlessly planning and manipulating. emilia, too, was brilliant. its her who unveiled just how much has been happening behind desdemona's back. and emilia was part of the deception too, though unwillingly. that is what makes it all so painful.
its tragic to the extreme. i loved it
