A New Othello is a play written by John Hyndford in 1887. The play is a modern retelling of William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, Othello. The story follows the same basic plot as the original play, with a few key differences. The main character, Othello, is a black man who has risen to a high rank in the British army. He falls in love with a white woman named Desdemona, but their relationship is met with opposition from those around them. Othello's trusted advisor, Iago, manipulates him into believing that Desdemona is unfaithful, which leads to tragic consequences. Hyndford's version of the play is notable for its portrayal of Othello as a sympathetic and heroic figure, rather than the villainous character often depicted in other adaptations. The play also explores themes of racism, jealousy, and betrayal, making it a thought-provoking and emotionally charged work. Overall, A New Othello is a compelling and well-crafted play that offers a fresh perspective on a timeless classic. It is a must-read for fans of Shakespearean drama and anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
