Description
Book Introduction
Shakespeare's Four Great Tragedies: Othello
How 'Evil' Destroys Humanity
William Shakespeare, the world's greatest playwright born in England.
The sentences and expressions in his works have a profound influence on English literature today, and there is no doubt that his timeless philosophy and ideas are of the highest quality.
Othello, one of Shakespeare's four major tragedies, is about the evil Iago corrupting a brave and noble man named Othello.
Othello's love for Desdemona turns into hatred due to the clever and thorough schemes of Iago, who symbolizes 'evil'. Shakespeare's sharp depiction of Othello's psychological changes clearly shows that "Othello" is a true classic that does not lose its vitality even after a long time.
Meanwhile, readers, audiences, and critics have each rewritten Othello within the paradigm of their respective times.
Sometimes with overly moral and religious standards, sometimes immersed in realism, sometimes relying on socio-cultural contexts such as racism, and sometimes discussing the tragic nature of human beings, it was reinterpreted from various angles.
So, how can we evaluate Othello today? What is the true nature of the "evil" Shakespeare portrays in Othello? What does Iago symbolize in a modern society rife with moral decay? Shakespeare's masterpiece, Othello, asks you these questions.
