Description
THE TRAGEDY OF OTHELLO, THE MOOR OF VENICEBeginning in Venice, Italy and concluding at the island of Cyprus off the coast of Turkey, the play focuses on four central characters- Othello, a Moorish General of the Venetian armed forces and his new young wife Desdemona; Cassio, his lieutenant, and his trusted ensign, Iago.
SYNOPSIS
Passed over for a promotion and enraged at other perceived slights Iago conjures up a horrific plan of revenge against his General. He successfully convinces the Moor into believing his wife is carrying on an affair with his lieutenant. At first doubtful and confused, Othello succumbs to Iago's gross insinuations and diatribes. Set upon the breaking point Othello orders the assassination of Cassio and in a fit of irrational passion murders his loyal and loving wife who declares her innocence in her dying breath. Iago commits his own horrors by killing a corrupt colleague and his own wife Emilia who discovered his crime against Othello and Desdemona.
