AB  - Positions Othello as an exemplary exploration of femicide, showing parallels between Shakespeare's play and twenty- and twenty-first centure cases of women murdered by their intimate partners. Describes Othello's obsession with Desdemona and the handkerchief as "dis-affectionate fetishism," "in which subjects are transformed into objects that come to embody lost love."
