Why does Iago choose to remain forever silent at the end of Othello? I have a working theory.
I do, there seems to be a pattern that Shakespeare's tragedies (and English tragedy, it seems) aren't that great, at least not compared to the comedies. Rymer goes deeper and shows how the timing is off and so on, Othello is about spectacle and speeches, plot is sloppy.

Are you kidding? The tragedies destroy the comedies. They are extraordinarily complex and well developed.

No, I agree with the poets here, being a poet. They are about producing good spectacles (scenes of violence and so forth) and intriguing and bracing speeches - Hamlet is known for its speeches, not for anyone understanding what happened

here is the link to Rymer's work, anyway. It's worth reading and consideringhttps://books.google.com/books?id=AN4iAAAAMAAJ&pg=PP8#v=onepage&q&f=false …
