Othello, the general of the Venetian army, holds much power and
influence but becomes the target of an insidious plot to steal his
coveted position. He is overcome with paranoia and enthralled with
rumors of his wife's potential infidelity. Othello has fallen in
love with a senator's daughter, Desdemona, and the two secretly
marry. Their partnership generates shock and confusion as Desdemona
was also loved by Roderigo, who'd already asked for her hand.
Othello's ensign, Iago, is envious of the general and is spurned
when he promotes the young Cassio to a higher position. This marks
the beginning of a plot in which Iago plans to destroy Othello's
personal and professional life. He attacks his marriage by stoking
the flames of jealousy, insinuating Desdemona's infidelity. This
leads to a violent confrontation with a morbid outcome. Othello is
one of William Shakespeare's most well-known plays. It tackles
multiple topics including race, gender, politics and revenge. It's
a gripping drama that details the dangers of greed, envy and their
inescapable consequences. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Othello is both
modern and readable.
