This is followed by a discussion of the legal and political issues addressed in the play and their application to today's headlines. Shakespeare's Othello tells a story with strong echoes to today's political world. A charismatic African leader is asked to lead a white European nation at a time of crisis. The play challenges whether such assimilation is possible, especially after a daughter of a prominent white nobleman falls in love with and marries Othello. Othello is convinced by his deceitful and malicious aid that is wife is cheating on him with a white man; his jealousy and concern for his reputation proves his and his wife's undoing. Shakespeare's play implicitly asks whether race is a factor in this tragedy. This question serves as fitting backdrop for the discussion following the play. The participants will discuss whether Obama's election makes racial preference laws and regulations an anachronism, and whether the goals of the proponents of the civil rights struggle beginning with the abolitionists and up to the modern civil rights movement has been fulfilled. The participants will also discuss whether racial prejudice still exists in the political and corporate arena, and whether it will rear its head at the presidential level if Obama's programs are not successful. The FREE event is the ninth in the series "Shakespeare and the Law," produced by the Boston Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society, in conjunction with Commonwealth Shakespeare Company. The event is directed by CSC's Artistic Director Steven Maler and produced by McCarter & English partner Daniel J. Kelly. The Massachusetts Bar Association and McCarter & English, LLP serve as a co-sponsors of the event. =0D=0A=0D=0ARegistration Details: =0D=0A The event is free.
