Image result for othello

Othello is the black general of the city of Venice also known as the Moor married a beautiful white woman named Desdemona. Her father Barbanito thought he used witchcraft to fall in love with Othello. But he used his love and stories to win her over and earn her love. Iago his assistant has made a plan to get revenge on Othello for choosing the military scientist Cassio over him by making it look like he is having a affair with Desdemona. He had his wife snatch the handkerchief from Desdemona to escalate Othello's anger to make him want to kill  Desdemona. When they returned to Venice Rodrigo attacked Cassio but was stabbed then Iago swooped in and slashed Cassios foot. Othello arrives in Desdemona's room calling her a whore she tried to tell him the truth but he didn't listen so he smothered her with a pillow. When Emilia came in she explained that the affair was a lie and confronted him about the then Iago stabbed her and ran off. Othello takes his own life out of guilt of killing his wife Desdemona and Iago was taken to prison to be torture and killed.

The book was really good but the strengths also had weakness. The Shakespearean language not this century and I barely understand most of it. The strengths were that talked about love and deception was all about.

The book of Othello was really good it was about a general falling in love and is deceived. I liked the beginning part how he married Desdemona with Cassio by his side. I like the part how he and Desdemona fell in love in first place. I liked the part how he got the handkerchief to her what it means to him. The saddest part was when he killed Desdemona and he killed himself. But the best part was seeing Iago going to be tortured and killed for his crimes.
