This is a quote from Shakespeare’s play “Othello.” It is the final line of the play and has been quoted numerous times because it captures a universal truth about life. The question, “but other than that, how did you enjoy the play?” means more than what it seems to say. “But other than that,” meaning beyond just this moment in time, implies there are many moments ahead and we cannot predict what will happen next. “How did you enjoy the play?” can be interpreted two ways:
1) as an objective statement asking for feedback on your experience with this performance; or
2) as a subjective question about whether you enjoyed yourself overall tonight regardless of where you were sitting or who was on stage.
“But other than that how did you enjoy the play?” is asking for feedback on your experience with life as a whole, not just this moment in time. Long-form content: The question “but other than that, how did you enjoy the play?” means more than what it seems to say.
Beyond just this moment in time there are many moments ahead and we cannot predict what will happen next, but I would like to know if people enjoyed themselves overall tonight regardless of where they were sitting or who was on stage? It’s a subjective question about whether people enjoyed themselves at all because our lives are full of peaks and valleys, good times and bad. This quote makes me think about my own experiences so far
