Shakespeare - Othello |
Othello: The Moor of Venice is a tragedy by Shakespeare written around 1603. The first recorded performance of this play was on November 1, 1604 at Whitehall Palace in London.
Othello, a Moor who has just eloped with the fair Desdemona when the play opens, leaves Venice to command the Venetian armies in Cyprus, accompanied by his new wife and lieutenant Cassio. The treacherous standard-bearer, Iago, plants Desdemona's handkerchief on Cassio, managing to convince Othello that his wife has been unfaithful with the lieutenant. Othello kills Desdemona out of jealousy, before Iago's wife eventually reveals that Desdemona's affair was but an invention of Iago's. |
