POST-COLONIAL READING OF OTHELLO'S PLAY
Abstract. On the horizon of literary criticism today, text just does not have a general meaning, but any text is in a state of waiting to read readers and reproduce new meanings. Shakespeare's texts are texts that are repeatedly presented with different types of readings from different perspectives, and each time a new reproduction of them is obtained. The present research seeks to present a new reading of Shakespeare's Othello drama using post-colonial studies. The Othello play has qualities that can be considered postcolonial. Therefore, the present paper, with a post-colonial approach, reciprocates Edward Said views with a qualitative, analytical, and descriptive approach to reading this play, referring to a large historical and political structure.Keywords: Post-Colonial Studies-Edward Said-Othello-William Shakespeare. ; Abstract.
