Othello (Arden Shakespeare Third)
von William Shakespeare
This edition of "Othello" aims to shed light on the text of the play as we have come to know it, and on our knowledge of its early history. The professional malpractices of the publisher of the Quarto, as described in documents in the Public Record Office, and the professional zeal of the Folio scribe, who wished to tidy and correct Shakespeare's manuscript, introduced many plausible but post-Shakespearean readings into the text, which call into question a number of our assumptions about the play. As well as investigating the implications of these findings about the early texts, the editor offers a wider background to the play, discussing major critical issues, the play in performance and the relationship between reading and seeing it, and topics such as its date, sources, the famous conundrum of "double time", and its "greatness" compared with "Hamlet" and "King Lear". Commentary notes assist the reader's understanding of the text in detail; many are concerned with the contemporary resonsanaces of its language.

Rezension von Sofianot all men but always a man. (I really enjoyed this)
Rezension von HelenOthello (the play, not the man) has me in a chokehold. Let’s be clear: I LOVE this play. But Othello himself? Trash.🗑️ And honestly? Most of the men in this story are absolute certified clowns. But like… it’s Shakespeare, what did we expect? Othello really said: “Hmm, someone told me my wife is cheating. I have zero actual proof. She swears it’s not true. So logically… I should probably murder her. Just in case.” BRO. BE SERIOUS. Ever heard of a conversation?? Therapy?? Literally anything other than FEMICIDE?? Like I get that you’re upset, but maybe don’t go full true crime podcast, my dude. And Iago?? He’s the worst. He’s also the best. He’s the worst because he’s the best at being the worst. 10/10 unhinged villain. A true chaos demon. Desdemona deserved better. Emilia is a queen. Cassio is there, I guess. The male ego? Absolutely out of control. But still… I ate it up. Because betrayal?? Intrigue?? MURDER?? Yes please. Is it even a real Shakespeare play if less than three people die at the end? I think not. So yeah. Despite the toxic masculinity speedrun, this is still one of my favorite classics. Just pure drama. No peace. I love it!
