I'm in the process of writing an essay on Othello, and am using the Folger Shakespeare Library's annotated Othello. As far as I can tell, the correct MLA citation for the book is

> Shakespeare, William. The tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice. Ed. Barbara A. Mowat and Paul Werstine. New York: Washington Square Press, 2004. Print.

When I'm citing Shakespeare's text, I just use the standard (Othello 4.1.120) format. How can I cite the annotations? Would it just be (Shakespeare 178)? that seems incorrect, as the annotations have little to do with Shakespeare himself.
