"Othello" by William Shakespeare is a gripping tragedy that untangles the web of envy, affection, and treachery using compelling characters such as Othello, a respected general; Desdemona, his innocent wife; and Iago, the deceptive villain. The play begins with animosity, as Iago, bitter for being passed over for a promotion, sets a plan in motion against Othello and Cassio. His initial act involves stirring up the rage of Desdemona’s father, Brabantio, who is shocked by her secret marriage to Othello and believes Othello has used witchcraft; these events push the story forward into a whirlwind of manipulation and misjudgment that will ultimately lead to heartache and ruin.
