"Othello" is a major Shakespearean text, studied widely and often
adapted for film and TV and especially challenging for a
multicultural society. "Othello" lends itself to criticism through
discussion of the major characters although this study will also
focus on recent criticism's analysis of the characters as
'signifiers'. The study of the key characters takes the discussion
of the text immediately into the central issues of 'otherness',
gender, race and power. The guide includes: an introductory
overview of the text, including a brief discussion of the
background to the play including its publishing and reception
history; an overview of the narrative structure; chapters
discussing in detail the representation of the key characters
including Othello, Iago and Desdemona as well as the more minor
characters; a conclusion reminding students of the links between
the characters and the key themes and issues and a guide to further
reading."Character Studies" aims to promote sophisticated literary
analysis through the concept of character. It demonstrates the
necessity of linking character analysis to texts' themes, issues
and ideas, and encourages students to embrace the complexity of
literary characters and the texts in which they appear. The series
thus fosters close critical reading and evidence-based discussion,
as well as an engagement with historical context, and with literary
criticism and theory.
