I love this! I studied Othello twice during university and no other Shakespeare play has been able to match the impact Othello had on me. Thank you for sharing!

I’ve never really understood Iago’s motives in destroying Othello. The theme of loneliness is insightful, thanks for this.

Never read Othello but your analysis make me want to ! Never thought that different motives/traits could lead to the same result (loneliness) and that it could be so destructive, probably because in french we tend to use the word solitude for loneliness too (instead of isolation). In this case, remember that i didnt read the book, based on what you said of Iago, is he really lonely or does he wants solitude so much that he play with people ?
