One of the most staged of all of Shakespeare's plays, Othello is a tale of love and betrayal, secrets, passions, and intrigue. Psychology and wit pit strength and virtue against jealousy and evil agendas. The results leave no winners, only tragedy in the lives of the jealous Moor, Othello, and his wife, Desdemona. The CliffsComplete Othello is a revised and expanded study edition. It contains Shakespeare's original play, a glossary, and expert commentary in a unique, 2-column format. To enhance your learning, notes and definitions appear directly opposite the line in which they occur, and a review section follows the play. This edition also introduces you to the life, works, and times of William Shakespeare.

Very helpful and makes you actually want to study as the notes are well organised. I was very pleased with the condition of my book as it was 2nd hand, although the shipping took awhile it was worth the price of about $10 and the good condition of this 2nd hand book. The book includes insightful commentary which is very understandable and makes Shakespeare's play a lot easier to follow and therefore write better essays! I would recommend this to students studying this text.

I sat down in study hall. The heat outside was never caressed by any wind, so it layed in the air like a fog. I was bored to say the least, but it was ok. This class would end eventually too. i had that hope to go on. While my eyes wondered with no other choice i saw on the shelves a book entitled "Othello." I knew this was a shakespeare book, and though all my contemporary youths loathed Shakespeare, I had always been fascinated by his Human interpretations. Also Othello had always fascinated me, but i never knew why. So without anything else to occupy my time i took it, and began to read it. What happened was amazing. It no longer was "taking up my time;" I now wanted to read it when i was busy, when i had to go to bed, whenever i had free time. It is a universal book, it is sad, it is a tragedy, it is Shakespeare. I love it as my favorite Shakespeare book. Go read it and see what you think.. if you dare.
