MY SHAKESPEARE’S FAVORITE

Othello 💙

Quick summary:
Lago has become overly jealous of Othello (mor=African American) becoming head commander in charge. Othello has just fallen in love with Desdemona and she has convinced the council to let her be by his side when he leaves for war. Lago comes up with a scheme, he makes Othello believe his wife is cheating but makes it seem as though he is only trying to be a dear friend WHAT A 🐍
and makes Cassio (which is othello’s Left hand man) believe he has a chance with Desdemona and helps him plan to get her.
Othello becomes filled with rage at the thought of his beloved wife cheating and Desdemona becomes filled with confusion because obviously.... SHE’S INNOCENT. Smh.... men.
Anyway,
Lago poisons Othello and this concoction causes him seizures and makes him crave blood especially by those he feels to have betrayed him. When he’s mad he’s MAAAAD x10 and Desdemona acting all innocent when she is an alleged “whore” is driving Othello pretty crazy.
SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT:
Othello kills Desdemona.
Okay tbh, everybody dies. But i’ll Leave it to you to figure out how. Ugh, the saddest thought of it all - Desdemona really loved Othello. Such a plot twist. This is what happens when you let the wrong people in your head to influence you. Shakespeare is definitely the best when it comes to tragides.
