Othello (Shakespeare) – Thug Notes Summary & Analysis

Yo what it is? This week haters gonna hate
with Othello by William Shakespeare.

One day soulja boy Iago kickin it with some
fool named Roderigo when Roddy all like “Say

Iago, why didn’t you tell me my girl Desdemona
gone and married Othello? You know I’ve

been tryin to hit that.” Iago say “Man
f*** Othello. He gave a bump to dat scrub

Cassio when it should be me climbin the ranks.
Plus, I ‘spectin Othello been freakin on

my woman. So fool best watch hisself cuz I’m
comin fo him.” Revenge, sucka!

When word come to Dessy’s pappi, he get
all up in Othello’s bidness and say “Bitch

did yo black-ass cast a spell on my daughter?”
Othello like “Naw, blood. Ever since I told

her bout all the s*** I’ve seen, she been
ALL up on this.” Desdemona come in and sets

daddy straight, and joins Othello and his
homies to wreck that Turkish army that be

rollin up on Cyprus.

Up in Cyprus, Iago tricks Othello’s number
2 man Cassio into throwin back a lil too much

drank. When Othello see C-dawg actin a fool,
he gives him the boot. But Iago ain’t done

messin. He tell Cassio “Say bruh, you should
hit up Desdemona and axe if she can get Othello

to smoothe things over.”

But on the real, Iago playin dirty. He tell
Othello he best watch his bitch cuz she might

be gettin down with Cassio. Othello ain’t
buyin it at first, but when Iago plants one

of Desdemona’s hankerchiefs in Cassio’s
crib, brutha start wonderin. And Othello get

all turnt up when he sees Cassio goin on about
some woman he playin, cuz Iago make Othello

think C-money talkin dirty bout Desdemona.
After dat, Othello say “Man I’m gonna

ICE that BITCH. Iago. If you my man, you’ll
merc Cassio.”

Not wanting to get his hands dirty, Iago convinces
Roderigo to kill Cassio. Even though s***

goes sideways, Iago still comes out on top.
Roderigo can’t snitch since Iago put his

ass six feet deep, and Cassio got a gnarly
cut.

Later, Othello rolls up on his woman, and
straight chokes a bitch to death. When Iago’s

biddy Emilia comes in, she like “WHAT THE F***, OTHELLO?” Othello tell her what’s

up, and Emilia immediately calls Iago out
sayin he been lying his ass off. Iago like

“bitch shut up!” And ENDS her.

Man, what is this? The NFL?

Knowin he got played, Othello stabs Iago and then ices himself before the po-po can put him away fo good.

Ain’t no doubt dat fool Iago does some dirty s*** up in this play. But as bad as he is,

you can’t deny that brutha do his own thang-
and with style.

Now if you bust open yo copy of Exodus and
slide you bitch-ass to 3:14, you’ll see

dat fool God saying something similar: “I
am what I am.” Like the big G-man, Iago

pullin all the strings up in this heezy. But
also, it’s like Iago dun flipped dem holy

words words on they ass. Cuz Iago take good
things, flips em around, and makes em evil.

In fact, that’s how he stir up dat beef
between Dessy and Othello.

Now y’all playas know Willy S never play
it straight, and he’s always blurrin dat

line between good and bad. When Roderigo start
goin off bout virtue, Iago all like:

Now what Iago really sayin is all hustlas
are gardens, and the only one saying what

you gotta plant is yo-self. Not God or anybody
else. You make yourself what you want to be.

Matter of fact, ol Willy got Iago tear down
that holy jive all throughout this play.

Fo example, when Iago tryin to convince Othello
that his woman gettin freak nasty with Cassio,

Othello like “Hell naw B. I got faith my
Biddy love me.”

But after showin him the handkerchief and
lurin him to the convo between Cassio and

Desdemona, Iago convince Othello “Man fuck
faith. SEEING is believing, homeboy.” Too

bad Othello don’t know what love is something
you can’t see.

But that’s okay playa cuz you can still
show me love by hitting dat subscribe button.

Catch y’all lata. Peace!
