Othello #1

At first when I began reading the book, I was confused because the Introduction threw me off by its length. And then, when I began to read the actual play, the difficulty of the reading hit me like a hammer. I had to go back and reread the verses to make sure that I understood the lines. Shakespeare either made up words a lot, or the language is just very old fashioned, or both. Also, the first scene starts off with bad feelings to the main character, possibly making us biased before we have met the main character.
