I enjoy Shakespeare, but sometimes I really wonder at him. Of course, he was a genius, but I don't really feel like this was his best work. If it had been filled in a little, and was a bit more fleshed out, it would have been much better in my opinion. Basic story (And there will be plot spoilers he...
I had to read and edit the notes for this for work. It was hard to read (like most of Shakespeare), but I actually enjoyed reading one I hadn't read before. Also, it is a bit like 16th century porn, so it was entertaining at least ;)

I’ve always believed that Iago is one of the greatest literary villains ever! A nemesis who was so twisted by hate and even acknowledged that he had no good reason for wanting to destroy the hero! Iago is the archetype for so many modern villains! Whenever I reread “Othello”, I picture a cinemati...
