Did Othello suffer racism, his jealousy an aspersion Shakespeare cast upon him because he was black?
What black one in romeo and juliet? just cos he was black in the Leonardo DiCaprio film adaptation doesn’t mean he was black in the play, no more than Denzel Washingtons character was black in the play Much ado about nothing (like he was in the Kenneth branagh film) Yes Othello suffered from Racism, mainly from Desdemona’s father and Iago, his supposed right hand man. but the reason for his jealousy was Iago constantly whispering in his ear telling him he couldn’t trust Desdemona and Casius is it? You know, he dude who got promoted over Iago. Iago was the real jealous one.
