Listened to Othello. I’ve seen the play once or twice in person and watched the Lawrence Fishburne version several times. Inevitably I find myself mumbling, “Wicked, wicked Iago.” And then prattle on in more Shakespearean speech under my breath.
That’s one of the things that makes Shakespeare so fun. He was such a craftsman with words that you can’t help but want to imitate him, e’er so poorly as you may.
