Paper Summary:
This paper discusses the various depictions of Othello (from "Othello" by William Shakespeare") on the stage. It refers to the character's depiction in the opera with a view to illustrating the dramatic, artistic and social climate that influenced the character's rendition through the centuries. The paper also looks at how Othello is portrayed in contemporary times.From the Paper:
"During the nineteenth century the play underwent extensive bowdlerisation which led to two main types of interpretation of the main character: the dignified, deeply troubled portrait of Othello and the extremely wild, sexually passionate and madly jealous interpretation of the hero. Macready, Fletcher and Irving tended to act in a quieter style adopting the new naturalistic mode of acting. However, the best of the "quite", naturalistic Othellos was probably that of Edwin Booth because he combined violent outbursts of jealousy with the right amount of humaneness and tormenting remorse."More papers on The Portrayal of Othello:
