I believe the story of Othello transcends time. That is essentially proven by the 3 reenactments of the play that reflected a then modern interpretation of the play. The BBC version that we viewed in class was the closest version to the original play. The main themes in Othello are jealousy, pride, manipulation, and deception. Those themes are still relevant to this time as shown in the movie O. Most viewers of the film would be able to relate to them. It may not necessarily be the exact events but something similar. There will always be someone who feels snubbed or that they received the short end of the stick in life and with those emotions comes a possibility of jealousy and deception.
