I have made a goal to read a Shakespeare play every month or every other month until I read them all. Most, if not all, of his tragedies, would be a rereading but so many years before that I have forgotten a lot. I doubt I would give a tragedy any less than 5 stars. He is incredible!

As for Othello's play, Iago rightly has earned the title of the worst villain; however, I don't exonerate Othello in any way. The only true victims in this play are Desdemona and Cassio.
