Overview
William Shakespeare's Othello is a timeless tragedy that explores themes of jealousy, trust, deception, and betrayal. Set in Venice and Cyprus, the play follows the tragic downfall of Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, manipulated by the scheming Iago. Through masterful character development and intense psychological drama, Shakespeare presents a powerful examination of the destructive forces of envy and mistrust, making Othello one of the most enduring works in the canon of English literature.
