This wouldn't be a Tragedy if all that mess didn't happen. But yes, what we can learn from that story is to ask if the rumour/accusation was true and talk about it, rather than let the "green eyed monster" or anger/concerns grow and corrupt. Oracle ✨🐞🐾🎧🍕❤
Actually he did speak to her, but he didn't explicitly say that she's cheating with Cassio. When Othello asked her about the whereabouts of the handkerchief, Desdemona lied (she couldn't find it and since Othello gave it to her, it has sentimental value - perhaps a good analogy is losing a wedding ring/some sentimental jewelry.) She was scared that he would find out it's lost, but she had no idea that of what she was being accused of. Since she could not show Othello the handkerchief to prove that she had it, Othello believed she was lying and gave it to/lost it by Cassio. Othello began to resent her for this lie, and it only made Iago's accusations seem true. He did try to talk to her (also, keep in mind that Othello's nature is that he isn't great at communication as he spent most of his life in the military), but her small (seemingly insignificant) lie gave Othello a reason not to trust her, which eventually escalated the situation at the end of the play ( where Desdemona asked Othello to wait for a few minutes because she will prove her innocence, but Othello killed her instead because he believed that she was lying again, even when she was about to be killed.)
I finished reading Othello yesterday. I feel like it’s a warning to beware truly malevolent people, as exemplified by Iago. Most people aren’t wholly evil I don’t think. Most people have flaws, such as Othello’s jealousy, Roderigo’s covetousness nature for Desdemona, or the underlying prejudice that most the characters have towards Othello since he’s a Moor; but most of them aren’t wholly evil. Iago is the exception, and throughout the entire play weaves these lies to manipulate and deceive all the other characters into doing evil acts and ultimately killing one another. Some of them, such as his wife Emilia, just do it because he asks them to. I see this play as a warning to always be slightly suspicious of other’s motives, because a single evil individual with a strong force of will can incite a group of unsuspecting people into enacting a tragedy if left unquestioned.
@@ecci1733 Othello didn't trust everybody, if he completely trusted his wife he wouldn't have gotten jealous. Othello's greatest downfall is his insecurities, Iago's poison wouldn't have even touched him without the insecurities about his race and the fear of being a cuckolded husband.
But that's still an F. I figured these videos would have at least pulled you up to a D+ or a C-, depending on effort and how much plagiarism you can slip past the teachers before someone notices.
I knew nothing about Othello before watching this, but suddenly, I literely know how to write my whole essay based on this. I don't care is this was made 13 years ago. With the quality I couldn't even tell.
It is from the Resonance period, meaning it is a throwback to the original Greek tragedy type plays. Hence he wrote tragedy and comedy. What makes it hard to understand is not the plot. The plot is an easy one redone a thousand times. It is the language Shakespeare uses filling his texts with metaphors, alliterations and half rhymes. However it is the use of metaphors that creates images in the mind and this is the true genius of the Author. If you need help in understanding the concepts buy this version. The Oxford Shakespeare Othello Oxford World Classics edited by M Neill general Editor S Wells.
Othello’s backstory must be taken into account. Perhaps it was something in his hard childhood that made him fall so easily into Iago’s evil intentions of insecurity, hate, and, eventually, murder. Iago served under Othello for years, so he’s reckoned to know something of his past.
hella late but from what i remember they been best friends for a long time without iago being evil and it was only when Iago was passed over did he snap
A Moroccan Ambassador influence Shakespeare’s Othello. There's an oil painting in University of Birmingham shows the Moroccan Ambassador who visited London in late 1600. Abd el-Ouahed ben Messaoud ben Mohammed Anoun was part of a delegation of 17 men sent by the King of Morocco. The purpose of the visit was to negotiate with Queen Elizabeth I about the possibility of a military alliance, combining English and African forces to conquer Spain.
Here's a tip. Whilst watching this pause it in sections and write down notes to summarise the story. It's really helped me learn the characters names and makes it more digestable.
This makes it so much easier to understand, thank you. It's hard for me to actually visualize the story and get what's going on when reading straight out of the book, for some reason. This helps a lot.
As a school student myself, I find this useful to help me understand the play, not to replace it but to understand it. I have an exam on this soon and i need a GENERAL understanding of it before I can knuckle down and get into the play. if you don't like it....why are you watching it
I have a final exam tomorrow on this play and Life of Pi and Poetry and can I just say that sparknotes has been so awesome helping me revise and remember. Ahhhh I hope I do well tomorrow!! This counts 75% of my year mark, and I generally get nervous about the subjects I tend to do well in because I feel like I don't want to mess it up. I can always rewrite if I do REALLY badly, but I don't think I will - still, It's comforting to know.
I tried reading the "updated English" version of the play but it's so long and there are so many details to read and comprehend but this video helps a lot thanks sparknotes 🙏🏼
***** The Shakespeare purposely used those two names because of "hell" and "demon". If it is of African Origin, then it is even better because it suits his character more. But he did this because of his big motifs in the play.
Didn't have enough time to read the play over the weekend; this was great! I was watching this 1 hour before my lecture. I am so depressed now... why Othello... why? :'(
Amazing. This is as detailed as a summary can get before it becomes a discussion on Shakespeare's motives or about problem plays or whatever. I had to see this after reading the play myself, and I have to give VideoSparkNotes a thumbs up.
Is there anyone in here who just went down the memory lane and decided to binge watch every story recallable from his primary schooling and not prepping for exams :p ?
I love this play to pieces, especially the development of the characters and the symbolism..but I still don't understand why Cassio asks Bianca to copy the embroidery on the handkerchief. Does anyone know why he does that?
That's all really sad. I'd go so far to say tragic! Anyway, thanks for the summary. I'm will all the others whom you've helped with an exam. You're doing God's work!
The big cheese welcome to Italy, all names are really long mine is Lucius Giacomo V******. I understand though because Japan is the same way for me sometimes really long name characters become hard to keep track of especial Japanese period films. I find it easy to just remember first names or first name letters; i.e. 'G' or 'Mr. G' if you are feeling a little Tarantino-esque.
Thank goodness for this video, it made this story so much easier to follow. VERY COMPLICATED STORY LINE if I do say so myself. However, I think that's what makes this story great is it's many details.
Chloe Alexandra imagine being a kid and having to read and analyze this also trying to understand the feelings of the characters lol jealousy, insecurity, paranoia. Shakespeare doesn’t nearly get enough credit for this play even if it was a little racist
Iago did not tell her to steal it!!! iago said that he would like it but he never asked emilia in the play . emilia is trying to please iago even though he treats her badly she still trys to please by the quote she says "i have a thing for you" then Iago starts to pay attention to her becasue she has something that othello wants
+Truffledor Animations It was great thanks, we did it for the Shakespeare festival so there were along with us a few other Shakespeare performances (different age ranges) so it was interesting to see how far your acting skills could advance, the other shows were absolutely great but very confusing....as we all learnt the lines in the traditional Shakespeare language..!
Societys Biyach Awesome, may I ask what role you played? Wow, must have taken a while as the traditional script is a bit hard to understand and memorize, but is well done. Sounds fun what you did.
+Truffledor Animations Indeed it was hard and we rehearsed every night if it was nesessary, in total it took us around 12 weeks to learn the script it was so confusing and tongue twisting... I played Emily, Iago's wife and Des' best friend
I see a lot of fellow students here saying their thanks and that this video saved them. Because they have a paper or exam or something about the story tomorrow. Well... As someone who actually has read the story to its fullest and worked on it in school, I advise you not to use a 9min summary video as your replacement for reading the story... Don't get me wrong, this is a good summary. But you miss a lot of details from the text by only watching this video, and in school assignments about a text; Details are very important. So to any students getting the idea to just watch this instead of reading Othello: Don't. Just read the story instead and start in good time. Don't bother trying to cheese your way around it. It doesn't work like that.
If you really don't like reading Othello, because it's english is so old that only nanny could really understand it, I recomend to you watching two or three movie versions, since Shakespiere is not only about tragedy, when you realize the naughty language used on it... AAAANNDDD You must know that at this time English wasn't as stibilized as today, and some words used could be misunterpreted, and pronuntiation of somewords could sound as someother word!! Shakespeare meant to make laugh the public, but he had both high society members and low society one too, so for one's there was this naugthy language and for the other was the tragedy of the story. This video is a good Othello's story resume but it negliges all the finest english expressions and possible language misunderstandings that makes it fun!
Othello´s ethnicity(?) caused a lot of debates in my English class. My classmates were quite obsessed with race and they pretty much pounced on the opportunity to label him as a black man. A Moore in that time period, if I remember correctly, is pretty much a foreigner with tan/dark skin. (Middle Eastern/North African) Plus...North Africans are usually not dark so I never really understood why Othello was always portrayed with very dark skin. (There is nothing wrong with dark skin. I simply feel like people made too many conclusions.) Anyway. This video was terrific! The art was wonderful! I almost wanted to read it again!
Shakespeare always escalating things quickly lol
Brian Verano bro I know right xd

I feel like all this would solved if Othello just talked to Desdemona and asked her? Lol
then there wouldn't be a story, would there? this is a tragedy so obviously tragic events have to occur
This wouldn't be a Tragedy if all that mess didn't happen.

You don't know the history of the Moore's. They are far from hero, in fact they are villain. Fuck him.

He is not a hero. He is more like a sympathetic character. We are emotionally attached to him, but that doesn't make him a hero!
You mean a protagonist, definitely not a hero!

A Moore in that time period, if I remember correctly, is pretty much a foreigner with tan/dark skin. (Middle Eastern/North African) Plus...North Africans are usually not dark so I never really understood why Othello was always portrayed with very dark skin. (There is nothing wrong with dark skin. I simply feel like people made too many conclusions.)
Anyway. This video was terrific! The art was wonderful! I almost wanted to read it again!
Wrong!
