Finally a good and clear summary of Shakespeare's famous tragedy, spoken clearly with the right speed. Many other summaries speak so fast that the ideas get confused. Thank you!

Lol, imagine Cassio waking up and everyone is either dead or arrested after an one-night sleep

[lemphl]

Welp, actually, nobody getting a happy ending's not true, Cassio becomes the governor of Cyprus and his arch-nemesis is defeated. Pretty nice play if you rooted for Cassio all along.

Anyone else notice that the characters heads are shaped like the first letter of their names

This helped me a lot and I could understand everything. I'm Italian and a lot of summaries are too fast for me and without subtitles, so it's very hard for me to understand properly. This is great!

[matalekalum]

This is the best summary I have come across so far. Thanks a lot.

[seerin]

I'm currently studying Othello for English, I was looking for a video to summarize the full story and turns out this video helped a lot! Thanks for that.
The ending was completely unexpected.

[hunkosarshow]

That one is the best summary, it helped me a lot though

[monalisasanka]

Really you have done a great job . I think this is the best plot summary I found in Othello .

[maya_existing]

I hope you know how important and great your videos are. They're incredibly helpful for revising without having to go through the play all over again. The narrator's voice, wording, and pace are perfect to understand easily, and the animations are truly awesome. It's clear and obvious how much effort you put into these videos. Thank you so much!

more info: Othello kisses Desdemona before dying (thats the last thing he does)
And Emilia didn't believe it when Othello told her that Iago told him that Desdemona was cheating on him.
