Summary: "Othello" by William Shakespeare is a tragic play written in the early 17th century. The narrative explores themes of jealousy, love, and betrayal through the lens of its central characters, including Othello, a black Moorish general in the Venetian army, his wife Desdemona, and Iago, his treacherous ensign. The story delves into the complexities of human emotions and the devastating impact of deceit. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Iago and Roderigo, who express their animosity towards Othello. Iago feels wronged after Othello chooses Cassio as his lieutenant instead of him and plots to manipulate both Cassio and Roderigo for his gain. The action escalates as Roderigo attempts to create trouble for Othello by alerting Desdemona’s father, Brabantio, to the secret marriage between Othello and Desdemona. Brabantio is horrified and believes that Othello has used witchcraft to win his daughter's love, setting in motion a tale that will spiral into tragedy fueled by Iago’s scheming.
