Othello by William Shakespeare
"Othello" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written around 1603. Set in Venice and Cyprus, the play follows Moorish military commander Othello as he falls victim to his ensign Iago's manipulation. Iago plants seeds of suspicion about Othello's wife Desdemona, driving the commander toward jealousy and rage. Considered one of Shakespeare's greatest works, this dark tale explores deception, trust, and the devastating consequences of manipulation. The play has captivated audiences since its
first performance with its complex characters and psychological intensity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
