Dit boekje had maar 55 pagina’s... Ik heb echt goed gekeken, maar ik vind de overige 9000 niet

I had great expectations before reading it, both starting it after reading Macbeth and Hamlet and also knowing that it was one of the great tragedies of Shakespare. However, I was truly surprised by the events unfolding in the story. But honestly, Pearson contributed to the unpleasantness of the reading experience because most of the story was retold incohesively. You try too hard see the sense and connections of a character's line of speech, thoughts and actions.
Last but not least, since this is a graded reader, it is supposed to be adapted suitably for students. Although the original work may include elements of love, infidelity etc. it was no way suitable to be read with learners under 18. While we were reading the story with my students, we could not go on after page 10, after which I went on reading by myself and later on certified a hundred times of my decision to not read with them.

somehow this was one of shakespears plays that I had not read until now. Such a classic of human emotions the danger of jealousy and how easily people can get caught up in a reality that is invented and not bother to find the truth out for themselves.

It still remains one of my least favorite of Shakespeare's plays. And this time I realised that it is so because of Iago. I just don't believe him, and it annoys me that he becomes the central person instead of Othello who is much better written.

I thought jealousy is scary thing.
