| Summary |
"Οθέλλος" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written in the late 16th century. The play explores themes of love, jealousy, betrayal, and racism through the tumultuous story of its main character, Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, and his wife, Desdemona. As he becomes ensnared in the deceitful machinations of his ensign, Iago, the narrative unfolds with dramatic tension and deep emotional conflict. The opening of "Oθέλλος" introduces us to a conspiratorial interaction between Roderigo and Iago in Venice. Roderigo is distressed over his unrequited love for Desdemona, who has secretly married Othello. Iago reveals his anger over Othello's recent promotion of Cassio over him, hinting at his devious plans to undermine Othello and orchestrate chaos. As the two plot their next moves, it sets the stage for the unfolding drama, laden with themes of manipulation and revenge that pervade the play. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
