More about this course
- In this course, we'll read William Shakespeare's Othello and discuss the play from a variety of perspectives
- The goal of the course is not to cover everything that has been written on Othello Rather, it is to find a single point of entry to help us think about the play as a whole
- Our entry point is storytelling
- We'll look at the ways in which Shakespeare's characters tell stories within the play about themselves, to themselves, and to each other
- We'll consider, too, how actors, directors, composers, and other artists tell stories through Othello in performance
- By focusing on storytelling, we can see how the play grapples with larger issues including power, identity, and the boundary between fact and fiction.
- From lectures filmed on-location in Venice, London, and Stratford-upon Avon to conversations with artists, academics, and librarians at Harvard, students will have unprecedented access to a range of resources for "unlocking" Shakespeare's classic play
