Othello is a play, so you should not think of it as a book. Go and watch it, either at a theatre or on film, if you want to understand it. Learning how to understand plays by just reading the script is like learning how to understand music by just reading a score. If you have experience you can imagine a performance; otherwise you can only understand the work by seeing or hearing it.
