Othello Browns Apology

     Canada's history is ripe with corruption, political follies, social and economic inequalities, and injustices to its weaker citizens. These themes, expressed through the medium of caricaturing, with its dramatic principles of exaggerating its subjects, allowed Bengough to organically involve Shakespearean references, which Canadians were then able to more easily understand. Bengough’s works, with Shakespearean references, were so effective in conveying their meaning that they remain understandable to contemporary viewers today.
