Video Othello: 'Tis a wrong in your own world

TLF ID M018915

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, so the saying goes. But does everyone agree with this? In Act 4, scene 3 of 'Othello', Emilia and Desdemona discuss the concept of fidelity. In doing so, they raise moral questions about gender and equality in Shakespeare's times. Listen as Kate Mulvany and Eryn-Jean Norvill from Bell Shakespeare present the playwright's expression of this subject through the eyes of his characters.
