And, if the OP wasn't an asshole, he could have just sent us to http://rinkworks.com/bookaminute/b/shakespeare.othello.shtml to see the Othello page.

Three banner ads and three text advertisment blocks, for 2 lines of text below-the-fold...really?

The imgur link loads quicker and has more visual impact anyway. I think calling him an asshole was a bit much.

Wow. This website is amazing with adblock.

[–]beetnemesis 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Shrug. I just get annoyed when people don't link to the original content. Especially with free entertainment stuff like this, or say, webcomics, where the pageviews drive ad revenue which is often the sole form of income.

I was not aware of this site but thank you for showing it to me :)

I just saw the image somewhere else also in imgur format so I didn't know the source, sorry.

Please get this comment to the top. I hate when people post without giving credit, and rinkworks has some pretty funny content.

Jesus can you at least write spoiler alert in the title?

They made a book out of it?

[–]saywee123 0 points1 point ago

That's nothing. I heard they tried to adapt it from the big screen to theater format. Can you imagine??

[–]Offensive_Username2 -4 points-3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Some people still haven't read it. There a thousands of books out there that have existed for a long time and haven't been read, doesn't mean they should be spoiled.

[–]lickthecowhappy 1 point2 points ago

Yeah I was joking. I came to comments to post "spoiler alert" but it was already here so I thought i'd try to be funny anyway.

Because "short version of Othello" couldn't possibly include the end. It's not like that's an important part.

[–]tekoyaki 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Can someone write a TL;DR version of that, please.

[–]jasontimmur 1 point2 points ago

Cheater.

DEAD! whoops.

succinct.

[–]not_rose 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I just wrote a four page essay on the homoromantic subtext of this play. So I can safely say that it can more accurately be described as:

Iago Your wife is cheating on you, hot stuff.

Othello She is? [Kills Desdemona] Oh, damn, no she wasn't.

Iago I want your nuts.

THE END.

[–]Addequate 1 point2 points ago

Quite.

Went to see this with McNulty and Freamon off the wire starring, it would have made way more sense if I'd read this before.

[–]VoodooD2 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I thought the title said it was written by Ric Flair.

Now I'm dissapointed...

WOOOOOOOOOOOh.

[–]bonfar_rabble 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Minor correction: Othello: She is? (kills wife) Damn she wasn't really. (kills himself) THE END

...why wouldn't you just send us to the link? http://rinkworks.com/bookaminute/b/shakespeare.othello.shtml It seems easier, and makes you a better person.

Why is there no mention that he is black?

[–]girlinboots 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

For some idiotic reason my drama class in high school decided to do Othello for one of our performances. Our cast sucked and couldn't get their lines down. Iago's big monologue was condensed to "I have a plan, and it'll work!"

Oh this reminds me of the Reduced Shakespeare Company. If you've ever seen the video of them doing the entire abridged works of Shakespeare, its Hilarious!

And here I was expecting a smaller board for the game Othello. And apparently it's also called Reversi.

[–]Giantorange 0 points1 point ago

Does anybody else think that even though it's the short version it requires desdemona to still speak from the grave at some point >.>

This needs a spoiler alert. I would be pissed if I hadn't already read it.

OMG IT"S JUST ANOTHER UNORIGINAL STORY. I DON'T SEE WHY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT AVATAR AND THEN SAY THIS IS SO GOOD.
