Summary In this thought-provoking essay, Professor Jerry Brotton positions Othello as a play about gender as much as it is about race. Brotton proposes that, in order to embrace these different elements of the play, we must apply an 'intersectional' analysis. Presenting Shakespeare's tragedy as a story for our time, Brotton suggests we pay close attention to how issues of race intersect with those of social status, religion and gender.
