Just finished this book Othello by William Shakespeare. Very good book, exploring the themes of jealousy, betrayal and love. A tragedy in the deepest sense. Plot's a bit racist though since the main protagonist Othello is a Moor (Black) and his wife Desdemona is a Venetian (Caucasian). Dad told me that during his stay in England he had heard of someone shooting an actor playing as Othello, primarily because he couldn't stand the sight of the Black actor strangling the White actress.
