Jago isn't a devilish master manipulator,
his crude plots entangle simpletons,
idiots like Othello. No wonder
we don't see Othello lead an army and win,
for this man on the page and stage
can't even think for himself. Sheer
luck defeats the Ottomans. There's
no subtlety or depth here, tragedy
can be found only in the women,
victims of one crude plotter
and a bunch of gullible simpletons.
Lambs taken to slaughter
would see where they are being taken
and fight more than Othello
and Roderigo against their fate.
