Ugh I absolutely love Othello! Desdemona and Othello's unconventional pairing, the consistent beast imagery due to Othello internalizing everyone else's hate towards him, the prevalence of jealousy and how it can transform anyone into a monster. Its such an interesting play, and definitely one of my favorite from Shakespeare.
