Othello...A review...
Well well..,i begin Shakespeare's reviews with a tragedy....But one of his best...,And i chose to start off with othello..,coz i yet have to get over with Omkara...(Shakespeare must be crying in his grave)...Well well...,here's a simple review...
Othello and Desdemona had a ‘forbidden romance’. Othello was a moor, and Desdemona is a fair young maiden. Their hidden marriage is frowned upon by many, but most importantly frowned upon by Desdemona’s father.
Iago, an officer of Othello, is a man of pure evil and he loathes young Othello. Not only is Iago evil, but he is also clever. Instead of using a sword to kill Othello, he uses his mind and his mouth to destroy him within. With Othello thinking he is a loyal officer, not to mention loyal friend, the mission all but too easy for the dastardly Iago.
Within Othello, Iago plants and tends to seeds of doubt. Othello is strong, but Iago sees a weakness: his jealousy. Iago makes claims of a love affair between Desdemona and Cassio (another officer working with Othello). Othello would like to deny such allegations… but from his good pal Iago it has to be true. Slowly he begins to unravel as he sees what appear to be clues in favor of Iago’s claims. And whenever a new clue is ‘discovered’ Iago is right there to re-inforce Othello’s worst fears.
The story ends with almost all characters being killed...,including Othello...So what could be a better tragedy???
Hope U liked the review...,Dont go by Omkara...Othello was indeed a masterpiece...
For Raaj..,
The love of my life...,
