Description

Othello, a celebrated Moorish general, secretly marries Desdemona, angering her noble father and inciting the envious Iago’s hatred. Sent to Cyprus, Othello’s victories are overshadowed by Iago’s manipulations: he frames Desdemona as unfaithful with Othello’s lieutenant Cassio. Consumed by jealousy, Othello murders his wife. Discovering Iago’s treachery too late, Othello kills himself as Cyprus learns the bitter truth.
