Este ebook presenta «Otelo» con un sumario dinámico y detallado. Otelo: el moro de Venecia es una obra teatral de Shakespeare escrita alrededor de 1603. Otelo es un príncipe negro, orgulloso de su éxito como general al servicio de Venecia, cuya sociedad lo aprecia gracias a sus méritos militares, y que ha conquistado la mano y el amor de Desdémona, hija de un notable. Yago, un alférez, envidioso y maquiavélico, convierte a Otelo en blanco de su resentimiento. Sus calumnias, dirigidas contra el punto vulnerable del moro -su matrimonio interracial- resultan eficaces. Persuadido de la infidelidad de Desdémona, corroído por los celos, despojado de toda confianza en sí mismo, Otelo cae en la trampa de su propia caída, convirtiendo la obra en la doméstica de todas las tragedias de Shakespeare: el sangriento final de un matrimonio.

This carefully crafted ebook: «The Complete Comedies of William Shakespeare» is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The plays of Shakespeare that are usually categorised as comedies are generally identifiable as the comedies of Shakespeare in that they are full of fun, irony and dazzling wordplay. They also abound in disguises and mistaken identities with very convoluted plots that are difficult to follow, with very contrived endings. A Shakespearean comedy is one that has a happy ending, usually involving marriages between the unmarried characters, and a tone and style that is more light-hearted than Shakespeare's other plays. Patterns in the comedies include movement to a «green world», both internal and external conflicts, and a tension between Apollonian and Dionysian values.
