Annotation:
	Describes performing as "Othello's man," a role created with a black man who "could appear as black in the play, but ... could not be black in the play," that is, did not warn Othello about Iago's perfidiousness. Contends that, all too often, "the inanimate prop of black flesh" "cannot perform for itself, but rather performs visions of blackness designed to comfort white audiences." English summary, 80.
