We started reading Othello in my World Literature class. It was winter and we were studying tragedies. Honestly, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Would Othello be as melodramatic as Romeo & Juliet? Would it be as disturbing as Oedipus Rex? Would it be as dissatisfying as Waiting? Of all the literary genres I have read, tragedies are still among the least explored. I knew nothing of them though I had experienced my own. However, looking back now I was a bit more apprehensive than I should have been to read Shakespeare, as he grows on you and whose writing is something I have become easily acclimated to. I loved reading Othello. [image error] SPOILER! Starting Othello was interesting. I was surprised at the depth of the malicious designs of the one who inflicted the tragedy - Iago - and the mystery of his motives. I was quite satisfied in sadistic sort of way as to the impact of his actions. He targeted Othello, and yet all the pawns in his scheming, such as the wife and friends of Othello, were devastated as well. Then I experienced my own twisted catharsis: Maybe seeing the play would have a different effect, but I realized then that reading Othello was reading a tragedy that used Logos, instead of the expected tragedian pathos. Of course I felt for Othello! I was sickened by the torture Iago put him through. But secretly I marveled at the truly genius designs of Iago. He hurt who he wanted to hurt and more. Not only did he succeed in creating a hell for the person he hated, but he did it with very minimal emotional reasoning with the maximum impact possible. He decimated the happiness of everyone who surrounded his object, and in doing so that made the play Othello a truly genius tragedy. It was simply amazing, and every bit of my intellectual being appreciated the careful work that good old Bill Shakes made for us all to enjoy. Maybe he did not intend for us to take pleasure in tragedy, but what better way to heal from it than to laugh it off?

**Update** I've retroactively rescinded a star from my rating after reading Scott Westerfeld's Uglies, and realizing how much Oliver ripped off from Westerfeld. I don't as a rule mind rip offs, but I mind when they don't actually improve upon the original. **end update** Some very interesting stuff here. On the one hand, the concept of love as a disease that needs to be cured has a lot of promise, and sounds perfect for a dystopian take. On the other, Oliver's specific take on it often edges towards an analogy in which teenagers know what "real" love is, and those stodgy adults are just automata worried about boring day to day life. I think this is a pretty dangerous way to think about love. Fortunately, Oliver never quite goes that far, and is very clear that her conception of love is tied up with friendship, caring, and a host of other emotions. I was particularly impressed by the character and voice of Lena, who is so authentically teenaged, and yet as far as you can get from the narrator of Before I Fall. Oliver clearly has her hand on the pulse of teen thinking. I'm a little concerned that the next novel is going to turn into a "resistance v. establishment war" type scenario, which, I've decided, is my big problem with recent dystopian series like Hunger Games and Chaos Walking. War in general bores me, and even moreso in the context of dystopia--because it doesn't seem to really serve the purposes of the dystopian novel's existence as a cautionary tale. Oh well, we'll see what happens when #2 comes out.
