A critic said:
"You could strike out every reference to [Othello's] black skin and the play would be esssentially the same. Othello's trouble is that he is an outsider. He is not a Venetian....The Senate has no consciousness whatever of his colour....It simply has no place in thier minds."

Do you agree of disagree with this statement and why?
