"Othello" is a tragedy by William Shakespeare that tells the story of Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, who falls victim to jealousy and manipulation. Othello secretly marries Desdemona, a beautiful Venetian woman, which incites the envy of Iago, his scheming ensign. Iago orchestrates a plot to convince Othello that Desdemona has been unfaithful with Cassio, Othello’s lieutenant. Consumed by jealousy, Othello’s trust in Iago leads him to tragic consequences, resulting in heartbreak, betrayal, and death. The play explores themes of love, jealousy, racism, and the destructive power of deceit. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
