The Tragedy of Othello, Moor of Venice
The First Folio, 1623
"The Tragedy of Othello, Moor of Venice" by William Shakespeare is a dramatic play written in the early 17th century during the English Renaissance. The narrative revolves around Othello, a noble Moorish general in the Venetian army, and highlights themes of jealousy, betrayal, and manipulation, primarily through the scheming of the villainous Iago. The story begins to unravel with the relationships and tensions among Othello, Iago, and other characters, particularly focusing on Othello's wife, Desdemona, who becomes central to the unfolding tragedy. At the start of the play, we introduced to Iago and Roderigo, who discuss Iago's resentment toward Othello for promoting Cassio over him. Iago reveals his duplicitous nature, expressing his intentions to manipulate Othello and seek revenge. The plot thickens as Roderigo, infatuated with Desdemona, is persuaded by Iago to incite trouble. Soon, we meet Brabantio, Desdemona's father, who is distraught to learn that his daughter has eloped with Othello. The opening sets the stage for deception and chaos, establishing the relationships that will lead to tragic consequences driven by Iago's deceitful machinations.
