About Othello
Othello dates from the early 17th century, and is one of Shakespeare’s best-known tragedies. It tells the story of Othello, a popular officer in the Venetian army, and his treacherous flagbearer Iago. Filled with resentment after being passed over for promotion, Iago decides to poison Othello’s mind against his new wife Desdemona by convincing him that she is having an affair with Cassio, the soldier who was promoted in Iago’s place. His lies take root in Othello’s mind, and eventually lead to both the destruction of his marriage and his own downfall.
