First of all, I really liked both your interpretation of Othello and how you correlated it to BtVS. As a fan of both Shakes and Joss, it was very gratifying to read this kind of essay.
Second of all, I think the way you managed to weave Hegemony and Other into Xander and the Buffy/Angel dynamic is nothing short of inspiring and very original - I've read a lot of Buffy academia and this is really one the most fun essays I've read in regards to Buffy and literary/cultural criticism.
And third, my 12 year old Xander-is-a-bad friend sentiment has been fed so well, you have no idea!
