The course will be delivered via edX and connect learners around the world.William Shakespeare’s Othello takes place in 16th-century Venice and also Cyprus. From lectures filmed on-location in Venice, London, and Stratford-upon Avon to conversations with artists, academics, and librarians at Harvard, students will have unprecedented access to a range of resources for "unlocking" Shakespeare's classic play. By focusing on storytelling, we can see how the play grapples with larger issues including power, identity, and the boundary between fact and fiction.
We'll consider, too, how actors, directors, composers, and other artists tell stories through Othello in performance. We'll look at the ways in which Shakespeare's characters tell stories within the play––about themselves, to themselves, and to each other. Rather, it is to find a single point of entry to help us think about the play as a whole. The goal of the course is not to cover everything that has been written on Othello. In this course, we'll read William Shakespeare’s Othello and discuss the play from a variety of perspectives.
