Luckily, my caffeine-deprivation headaches are just a standard tension headache/possible lead-in to mild migraine for me. But then I have ADD and caffeine has nearly zero effect on my energy levels, etc. It helps me focus my attention a bit better I think.
Shakespeare's most striking departure from Cinthio is the manner of his heroine's death. In Shakespeare, Othello suffocates Desdemona, but in Cinthio, the Moor commissions the Ensign to bludgeon his wife to death with a sand-filled stocking.
This tightly constructed work revolves around four central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army; his beloved wife, Desdemona; his loyal lieutenant, Cassio; and his trusted but unfaithful ensign, Iago.
