Loading... Othello [Norton Critical Editions]by William Shakespeare
   None No current Talk conversations about this book. I read Othello in high school, again a couple times when teaching high school English, and again now as a grad student in creative writing. It's not my favorite of Shakespeare's tragedies, but it's still very good. (It is Shakespeare, after all.) A good read on literary merits, of course, but also important for teaching you how to recognize the Iagos in your own life. (  ) StefanieBrookTrout | Feb 4, 2017 |  For me the greatest play ever written. Iago is unsurpassable achievement. (  )1  DavidMilnes | Jun 20, 2009 | no reviews | add a review
