Postcolonial Othello

Abstract EN

Othello has been tackled and interpreted from different perspectives and mainly all themes are discussed excessively.

However within the passage of the time new critical theories emerged to open the horizon for further fruitful analysis.

Modernism, postmodernism, expressionism, and post colonialism are prominent literary critical theories that enabled the scholars to re-read and re- interpret the texts of Shakespeare‟s plays.

Accordingly, in this paper Othello will be explained and depicted from post colonial perspective.

Postcolonial literature spotlighted in the 19th century in Africa and Asia mainly as many novelists and dramatists wrote many literary works to claim their rights back under the colonization of the West.

Postcolonial literature is also a literary theory that deals with racism, Diaspora, ambivalence, hybridity, and inferiority complex.
