Focusing on the epistemological issues in Othello, this book employs analytic philosophy, particularly the insights of later Wittgenstein, to delve into the complexities of knowledge and belief depicted in the play. It examines how Shakespeare navigates themes of perception, truth, and understanding, offering a philosophical lens to interpret the characters' struggles and the narrative's unfolding.
