my english teacher played us this the other day...we had to read pure shit first and then we she played this i was like...Ms why the fuck didn't u just play this rap to make it simple!!! :)
I studied Othello in college too. Years later I read Esther. I was struck by how Othello seemed like a remake of Esther, but with a tragic ending. Any, I like your video. :-)
*can't stop laughing* This was very clever, I'm on sabbatical right now studying this play, this was very amusing to watch between all the depressing movie versions.
I was reading Brave New World and Othello was mentioned in the book, I knew that Shakespeare wrote it but I had no idea what it was about, but now, thanks to this video, I know all there is to know about the man named Othello!
@Ambushcrysis I just finished reading Othello because it was mentioned in Brave New World. Brave New World = my favourite novel. I don't think that it's compulsory reading here in Canada. I'm in grade 9 and we have to read To Kill a Mockingbird this semester in English (which I already read).
If I recall, a large part of the play focused on the racism in the way he was described and such, even though he was just a great guy. The line may have come off as racist, and if you were offended my apologies.
Dunno how Americans understand this, I'm British and its still hard. And BTW Othello was black, a Moor in Shakespeare's time could be either an Arab, Berber or Sub-saharan and the play said he has 'black skin' and 'thick lips' so he's black.
I study Othello for my last year of English at High School in New Zealand. It's quite an easy play to follow, but I hate trying to remember quotes! Errrrr
I couldn't understand the language at all and I had to write a paper on this play. I read the play and watched the movie, but was still lost. Then I saw this and I understood everything. Thanks, I'll be looking for more summaries.
@RachelIkner Best way to understand what's going on in a Shakespearian play is to read the intro to each act. It normally give a quick summary. Though that doesn't help if your teacher asks in depth analytical questions.
lol man, you're awesome xd as much as I love "Othello", I have to admit it's brilliant xd do you remember your grade?
