Project Gutenberg 2000-07-01 Public domain in the USA. 425 Shakespeare, William 1564 1616 Shakspeare, William Shakspere, William Othello There is an improved edition of this title, eBook #1531 "Othello" by William Shakespeare is a tragic play written during the early 17th century, a time characterized by the flourishing of English drama and literature. The narrative revolves around Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, and his struggle against jealousy and betrayal, particularly focusing on the malignant machinations of his ensign, Iago. The opening of "Othello" sets the stage for a complex interplay of love, deception, and racial prejudice. It begins with Iago and Roderigo discussing Othello's recent marriage to Desdemona, Roderigo's unrequited love for her, and Iago's own resentment towards Othello for promoting Cassio over him. Iago's duplicitous nature is revealed as he disclaims his true feelings, claiming to serve Othello while plotting his downfall. The scene transitions into Brabantio, Desdemona's father, who is incited by Iago and Roderigo to confront Othello about his daughter's elopement. This opening lays a foundation for the themes of manipulation and the destructive power of jealousy that will unfold throughout the play.
