Othello is a "noble Moor", a North African Muslim who has converted to Christianity and is deemed one of the Venetian state's most reliable soldiers. However, his ensign Iago harbours an obscure hatred against his general, and when Othello secretly marries the beautiful daughter of the Venetian senator Brabanzio, Iago begins his subtle campaign of vilification, which will inevitably lead to the deaths of more than just Othello and Desdemona. An extraordinary play, both for its dramatic economy and power as well as its remarkable language, from Othello's bombastic "traveller's history" to Desdemona's elegiac "willow song", the play raises uncomfortable questions about ongoing questions of not only racial identity but also sexuality, as Othello and Desdemona's sexual relationship becomes the voyeuristic site of Iago's attempt to destroy them. Particularly fascinated with the question of what it means to "see", Othello also contains one of the greatest tragic death scenes in all of Shakespeare, with Othello's final identification with "a malignant and a turbaned Turk".--Jerry Brotton, 349808011, Study Books, 349778011, By Subject, 349777011, Antiquarian, Rare & Collectable, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 515318, Plays & Drama, 270524, Performing Arts, 73, Music, Stage & Screen, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 274876, Drama, 275389, Poetry, Drama & Criticism, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 274731, Shakespeare, William, 275389, Poetry, Drama & Criticism, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books<

[SR: 1737557], Paperback, [EAN: 9780946675005], Workman Publishing Company, Workman Publishing Company, Book, [PU: Workman Publishing Company], Workman Publishing Company, O! Beware, my lord, of jealousy: it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on. So cautions the villainous Iago, and the stage is set for the illusion and deception that results from his festering envy. Othello is Shakespeare's timeless tale of sexual passion, mistrust, and murder. It is freshly illuminated in this new comic book format, as full-color panels picture Othello's tortured suspicions, and readers see both sides of the renowned double meaning in Shakespeare's verse. Every line of dialogue from the First Folio edition of the play has been preserved and illustrated. Creating the unsettling perception that "nothing is but what is not," Argentine artist Oscar Zarate evokes Othello's deterioration in watercolors, inks, and colored pencils that keep pace with the agitated action, and accelerate the tension to the pitch of a live performance.
