Résumé
Comment le Maure Othello, valeureux général de l’armée vénitienne, en vient-il à se métamorphoser en bête sanguinaire ? Pourquoi un être d’une si haute noblesse se laisse-t-il convaincre par les calomnies d’un scélérat, jusqu’à tuer de ses mains son épouse bien-aimée ?Dans Othello, qui compte parmi les sommets du répertoire tragique, Shakespeare explore le vertige du mal pur – ce mal dont la naissance est obscure, banale, presque imperceptible, et qui soudain ouvre sous nos pas un gouffre au fond duquel on voit l’Enfer.

William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He began his successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. His early plays were comedies and histories, considered some of the best in these genres. In 1623, a more definitive collection of his works known as the First Folio was published. Shakespeare was born to a successful glover and educated at the King's New School in Stratford. He married Anne Hathaway and had three children. Shakespeare's plays were performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, making him a wealthy man. He continued to act in his own plays and collaborated with other playwrights. Shakespeare's last three plays were collaborations, and he retired to Stratford before his death. His work has had a lasting impact on theatre and literature, and he is considered a genius and a classic of the German Weimar era. There have been doubts about the authorship of his works, but they are considered fringe theories.
