• Resumen

  • In Othello and El amante liberal, Cyprus symbolizes the contradictions of the soul. Through a journey of self-discovery, Othello and Ricardo arrive at a hybrid identity, a mestizaje, as they struggle against the “green-eyed monster” of sexual jealousy. The Cypriot voyage in Shakespeare and Cervantes is a return to a chastened social order and to a tragic self-knowledge.
