內容簡介
Timeless Shakespeare were expressly designed to help readers with limited reading ability gain access to some of the world’s greatest literature. This book series retains the essence and stylistic
“flavor”
of the original.
Iago is bitter over the loss of an important job promotion. How can he get revenge?
Aha!
Nothing could hurt Othello worse than the ruin of his own marriage.
“Beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is a green-eyed monster that laughs at the meat it eats.”
(Act III, Scene II)
“A man or a woman’s good name, my dear lord, is the most important jewel of the soul. Who steals my purse steals trash. It was something, now it’s nothing. It was mine, now it’s his. It has belonged to thousands of others. But he who takes from me my good name robs me of that which does not enrich him, and makes me poor indeed.”
(Act III, Scene II)

以阿哥因為沒被奧賽羅升至重要職位而怨恨不已，他要如何復仇呢？啊哈！能讓奧賽羅最痛苦的方式，就是讓他親手摧毀自己的婚姻。
“Beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is a green-eyed monster that laughs at the meat it eats.”
閣下，要留心嫉妒啊！那是嘲笑獵物的綠眼妖魔。(Act III, Scene II)
“A man or a woman’s good name, my dear lord, is the most important jewel of the soul. Who steals my purse steals trash. It was something, now it’s nothing. It was mine, now it’s his. It has belonged to thousands of others. But he who takes from me my good name robs me of that which does not enrich him, and makes me poor indeed.”
不論男女的好名聲，親愛的閣下，是靈魂最重要的寶石。偷走我錢袋之人得到的是垃圾，原本是很重要，如今成了身外之物；原本是我的，如今成了他的，而它也曾屬於數以千計的其他人。但是取走我的好名聲之人，他奪走的是無法使他富有、卻使我變得貧窮之物。
(Act III, Scene II)
