The History of Literature
Analysis of Macbeth, Othello, and Shakespeare's Language
The speaker discusses choosing Macbeth fourth, but regretting not picking 12th Night and opting for Othello instead. They appreciate a line from Othello where he says, 'I kiss the air I kill it thee' as it rhymes like a pop song and functions on multiple levels.

They draw parallels between Othello and Hamlet in terms of internal conflict and moral dilemmas, making Shakespeare's works relatable on a classic teenage angst level.
