The edition of Merchant is similarly stereotypical and racist. This passage is a thing of beauty in its unacknowledged racism. I wonder who he considers Ron Goldman’s character to be? 
I couldn't quite follow the reasoning there. . .. but that cover, together with the commentary, is definitely not good. especially, given that I remembered it 20+ years later
It’s interesting that Othello’s always an example of domestic violence if it appears in pop culture. Other tragedies are mirrors for more weighty matters. Or it is conjured as a reflection for exceptional Black men in ways that ignore the events of the play.
I remember using that edition in high school in the 1980s (before this revision). That cover image. We never talked about it, of course. Intros to Othello are almost uniformly terrible for the past, oh, 300 yrs. Is Ron Goldman meant to be Cassio??? Ugh.
I also remember watching the OJ trial when it happened, and the Othello references were *everywhere* at the time, in popular media too.
