>>4435562
this cover makes no sense

my favorite revenge is Euripides' Bacchae

making pentheus dress as a woman, leading him to spy on maenads, leaving hiim to be attacked, having his mother carry in triumph his torn off head back into town only to be brought to her senses by her own father.

>babby tries to look smart by name dropping
prove me wrong, explain yourself.
you clearly haven't read the book, but assuming you are right,and you're not, would you say that any work of fiction with jelousy as a main part of the plot stole it from otello?
