Othello and the Crash of Character.— By ,* the Hon. Rev. William Miller, c.i.e., ll.d., ( Principal of the Madras Christian College. t
In this monograph, as in his earlier Studies of ^- King Leai Macbeth and Hamlet^ Dr. Miller directs ^> attention mainly to the moral truths illustrated in the drama, maintaining these to be its proper f centre from the artistic as well as the practical .| point of view. In delineating Othello and Desde- ' mona, he points out that, along with much that ,? was good and noble, there were defects and faults! in both which opened the way for all the calamities that came on them * * * la go he regards as the willing instrument of those evil powers which are always ready to take advantage of the openings which the want of watchful care on the part even of the best too often yield. Dr. Miller looks upon " Othello " as a revelation of forces which '* more or less strongly affect the inner life of every man " and maintains that the way in which those forces are disentangled in it " from all that is accidental or superficial will be held by those who read wisely to be full compen- sation for the pain which the study of so unrelieved a tragedy must cause."
