what does the title of the play othello the moor of venice mean
Othello The title "Moor" implies a religious "other" of North African or Middle Eastern descent. Though the actual racial definition of the term is murky, the implications are religious as well as racial.[36] Many critics have noted references to demonic possession throughout the play, especially in relation to Othello's seizure, a phenomenon often associated with possession in the popular consciousness of the day.[37] Thomas M. Vozar, in a 2012 article in Philosophy and Literature , suggests that the epileptic fit relates to the mind–body problem and the existence of the soul.[38]
