Words Wednesday: William Shakespeare (Othello)
Today’s Words Wednesday features a quote from Othello by William Shakespeare.
This quote is one of the most poignant lines in all of William Shakespeare’s works. It comes from Othello’s final tragic monologue, spoken as he realizes that he has murdered his faithful wife, Desdemona, on the basis of uncontrollable jealousy and false information. The full name of William Shakespeare’s play is The Tragedy of Othello, Moor of Venice. Believed to have been published around 1603, Othello remains popular today for its rich characters and themes of love, racism and revenge.
