Links for Shakespeare- Othello

http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/othello/ This link is exactly what you could hope for. It has everything from characters to notes one each scene and even a quiz to text how you are understanding it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Othello A great sight with a lot of information on Othello. On the other hand, it is a lot to read when you are trying to find a simple answer.
http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/ From the same general place as the first link, this link has quizzes to help you text on how well you know the play. Differing from the first link , this link is one every play shakespheare wrote (that we know of).
http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/views/plays/playmenu.php?WorkID=othello This link is short and to the point, sweet, not so much. It has all the plays but when you are selection one like I did with "The Tragedy of Othello, Moor of Venice (1604)," sadly it only has a list of the characters and who they were then the scene of each act. (That is it.)
http://www.cliffsnotes.com/study_guide/literature/othello/play-summary.html Finally this link has a summary of what happened throughout the play followed my a quiz. The summary is long but I would much rather have a long reading and know all about something than not know anything about it because the reading was to short.

After finding all of these sights, I would personally use the first link for Othello because it was good at giving information I felt would be needed and more. The first link was helpful and seems it would be easier to navigate than some of the others. Not only wold it tell you what did happen but you could take a quiz that would make sure you understood what they were telling you.
