Othello by Shakespeare

Very obviously a classic, very obvious why it's a classic. Shakespeare plays on all these twists and plot devices that are still used today.

Ideas (I'd have to do a closer reading to actually call them themes) of influence, love, deception, honesty, etc. There's very obviously a lot to it.

I mean Shakespeare is Shakespeare. He's good. I appreciate his writing and I would probably read him if I was in the mood (as is the case with any other author). I don't generally like depressing books so I didn't like this one as much since it doesn't end well. His monologues are magnificently written. The way the plot plays out is believable.

I read Othello before too so I suppose this re-reading of it wasn't too bad. I do want to read some of his other stuff that I never read before.
