The Fool – from text to screen.

Othello As one of Shakespeare’s most cunning plays‚ Othello explores a Moor’s struggle against the manipulative devices and forces of nature set against him‚ internally and externally. However despite the motifs that the play relies heavily on such as racism and deception‚ the patriarchy of manhood and its struggle with the nobility of honor stands as the overriding major theme in the play and is thus explored and epitomized by Iago through his soliloquy by the inequity of the gender counterparts
