This summary outlines the plot of Othello with pictures and a voice over providing a visual example of Othello, which can be used to properly understand the play. |
“In transporting Othello and Desdemona to Cyprus, Shakespeare casts additional light on their relationship and enriches our understanding of the moral and psychological patterns of the play. … Desdemona's removal from her familiar environment isolates her during her ordeal. Finally, in what Alvin Kernan describes as the ‘symbolic geography' of the play, Cyprus stands as an insecure Christian outpost on the frontier of barbarism. It is an uneasy middle ground between civilization, represented by ‘The City' Venice and Desdemona, and ancient chaos, identified with the Turks, Iago and the savage origins of Othello himself. In the psyche of Othello, a ‘barbarian' and convert to Christianity, these polar forces are maintained in precarious balance.”
David M. Zesmer. Guide to Shakespeare. 1976.
