After a long time. Well, this had been part of the meagre new posts that I write for this blog.
Thought of starting a series, for next ten days and then again I will be back to sleep. It's related to this facebook Book challenge, where the subject needs to share a book cover that s/he liked; but why... no explanation. That is the bummer because it is important I would like to know why the other person liked it and also try to place my perspective. But no! No way.. so I thought of brushing off some of the cobwebs here... I will not explain all, but some that I feel made an impact to my grey matter up at the top.
Othello.
This is the second in the series book that I shared. A strong drama set in the Victorian era, created by William Shakespeare; shook me. And that's why it called a great story. History teaches us about perspectives and literature talks a lot about the era and what can be learnt from them. But Othello is universal and evergreen. We all know that Desdemona exists and so does Othello, Cassio. There errors out of jealousy still happen and will keep happening. Othello took me to realize that words and action need to be very coordinated and distilled till the final drop comes out, to justify the purity of your actions. This had helped me in several places, making me inherently calm, which I do realize that sometimes it gets on my nerves as well as others. With a fortune amidst the unfortunate situation, my minds keep processing, because on paper Othello made the ultimate mistake; I cannot. Note: Personification is preferred for the last statement.
Although Shakespeare wrote it in English, this was an adaptation of a story called Un Capitano Moro, by Giovanni B. Giraldi; an Italian writer that voices out the same storyline. Just for the credit.
