If you're writing what would appropriately be termed a "review" of the play itself (as opposed to a review of a specific performance or film of it), you would presumably have to shift yourself back in time to the year 1600 and try to recreate the point of view of one of Shakespeare's contemporaries seeing it for the first time. This is something that would be a kind of artificial exercise in time travel and would entail the systematic elimination of 400+ years of history from our own legacy and experience. To do so would be more difficult that it's worth. A more realistic goal is not so much literally a review, as of a new or unknown work, as an analysis that attempts to look at Othello from as personal and informed a perspective as you can.

The elements of such an analysis would include an examination of the major characters in Othello: their motivations and their "realism" (or perhaps lack thereof, if you judge them that way). You might wish to ask what the personalities of these characters are made up of. How do they—Othello himself, Desdemona, Iago, Emilia, Cassio, Brabantio, and the others—feel towards each other? What are their own self-images? What inner and outer forces cause them to act as they do? Moreover, do these characters, and does the plot of Othello, make sense to you?

In judging the play, one has to be wary of presentism, which is the tendency to project our own modern standards of behavior and morality onto the past. But although one can't analyze Othello (or any play of Shakespeare) as if it's a play or a movie from our own time, we still need to bring our own sensibilities into play when analyzing it. The question also needs to be addressed as to whether Othello deserves the high reputation it has had among Shakespeare's plays. Or is it possibly overrated?

A final question is that of "relevance" to our time. Are the racial and (to a lesser extent) gender themes of the play, or at least the ways in which Shakespeare handles them, obsolete or even offensive? Or do they still have bearing on the twenty-first-century?

Hello! I would like to suggest presenting your request as a new question. My other colleagues would be more than happy to help you with understanding this incredible play.

In answering your question, I included the template you provided; if there are any specifics you need, my suggestion is to try including some details. This would greatly aid in an educator assisting you. Perhaps you would like to discuss the mood/tone in Othello or discuss certain literary concepts. Usually, a review will include your thoughts about the play itself, a brief discussion about important themes, and perhaps, even a short critique about the skill of the actors in portraying Shakespeare's characters.

Besides asking another question, here is a review help written by my colleague for another student, using a template similar to the one you requested.

Hope this helps!

1) Introduction- In a nutshell, this play is about Othello (a general of Moorish descent) and his ultimate destruction at the hands of a jealous adversary, Iago.

2) Characterization- Othello is portrayed as war-hardened general. He is extremely skilled at what he does and he is greatly trusted by the Venetian government to fulfill his role as a military leader in defense of his country. Although Othello is initially portrayed as a logical and reasonable man, he is eventually reduced to an emotional wreck at the possibility of his wife's infidelity.

Desdemona is portrayed as a woman who greatly loves her husband. She is fearless in defending her choice of a husband to her father, Brabantio. Like Othello, she manifests seemingly conflicting personalities: she is at once courageous as well as self-effacing. She blames herself for her own death and forgives her husband despite his betrayal of her innocence.

Iago is the villain: he is at once loathsome, conniving, and untrustworthy. He plays Roderigo against Cassio and Othello; he pits Desdemona against her own husband. He even uses his own wife, Emilia, in plotting the downfall of Othello. Here's a villain everyone loves to hate; Iago doesn't seem to have a redeeming virtue in him. He kills his own wife, Emilia, when she no longer serves his purposes. 

3) Plot Description- eNotes has a great At-A-Glance summary as well as a fuller summary of the plot.

4) Theme of the play- Themes include jealousy (how jealousy can destroy love and trust in a relationship), racial prejudice (how prejudice affects self-image -- Othello's jealousy is fueled both by Iago's machinations and his own self-esteem issues regarding his own attractiveness to Desdemona, his wife), the discrepancy between appearances and reality (Iago is successful in his manipulations of Othello because he is able to frame events and manufacture elements in his surroundings to paint a false picture of Desdemona's fidelity), inter-racial relationships fueling discussions about marital compatibility (the black Othello is perceived by some as a predator of innocent white women) and also gender roles and women's rights (the suspicion of possible infidelity dooms Desdemona despite the fact that there is no truth to Iago's allegations).

5) Interesting Quote- This will depend upon your own enjoyment of the play. You can quote almost anything that interests you; for example, did Othello grab your attention in Act 5 Scene 2 when he claimed to be carrying out a divine sentence? "This sorrow’s heavenly,/ It strikes where it doth love." Even if his suspicions were right, do you think Othello had the right to decide whether his wife lived or died?

6) Analysis or evaluation- eNotes has an excellent analysis of this play.

7) Summary- Please refer to the eNotes link that I provided above.

8) Conclusion- This will depend upon your own thoughts on the play; for example, did you think that Othello and Iago received their just deserts? Why did Othello trust Iago so readily? Was it due to his naivety or his personal insecurities?

I hope this helps. You can use the above points to guide you in your second play. Thanks for the question!
