Shakespeare: Othello This reader is equipped with various auto scroller speeds to make a more pleasurable reading experience. ‣ Color Scheme Selection in Settings ‣ Select a text color and background color for a more enjoyable reading experience Othello is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. This tightly constructed work revolves around four central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army; his beloved wife, Desdemona; his loyal lieutenant, Cassio; and his trusted but ultimately unfaithful ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Book Haven at none against Shakespeare's 1. Shakespeare's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
