Luckily, my caffeine-deprivation headaches are just a standard tension headache/possible lead-in to mild migraine for me. But then I have ADD and caffeine has nearly zero effect on my energy levels, etc. It helps me focus my attention a bit better I think.
Shakespeare's most striking departure from Cinthio is the manner of his heroine's death. In Shakespeare, Othello suffocates Desdemona, but in Cinthio, the Moor commissions the Ensign to bludgeon his wife to death with a sand-filled stocking.
Shakespeare could hardly have done more to emphasize that jealousy will be a central concern of this play. No sooner do Iago and Roderigo express their own jealousy, however, than they try to arouse jealous thoughts in Brabantio by telling him that Othello has stolen the affections of Brabanttioâs daughter, Desdemona.
