Othello (Canon Classics Worldview Edition)
"O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on." -Iago
"Have you ever sat through a show, movie, or play that was intensely disturbing to watch? Othello is one such work... Why should we put ourselves through such an experience? Is there any redeeming value to be had in watching the inevitably tragic events unfold?" -From Stephen Rippon's Introduction
Othello is such a competent man, it's shocking how quickly the good things in his life fall apart. The beautiful Desdemona falls in love with him-but her father is furious to the point of murder that she has eloped with a Moor. Othello proudly promotes Cassio, a young soldier of his-but Cassio's fellow officer Iago is poisonously envious of the favor. And Iago doesn't just want Cassio's demotion. He works to turn the lives of Othello and Cassio and Desdemona into smoking ruins.
