Othello: It's Called Deception
b'
Lust, jealousy, rage, race, and one very inconveniently misplaced handkerchief lie at the center of Shakespeare\\u2019s "Othello," an emotional tour de force that takes manipulation and evil to new levels. Will and James discuss where Iago falls in the pantheon of Shakespearean villains, their visceral reactions to the breakdown of Othello and Desdemona\\u2019s marriage, and the role that Othello\\u2019s race and status as an outsider in Venice play in his downfall. // Credits // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches\' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, \\u201cSaltarello\\u201d (composed by anonymous); Illustrative Excerpts: "Inception," dir.
