Othello by William Shakespeare is a tragic story about love, jealousy, and betrayal. Othello, a respected Moorish general in Venice, secretly marries Desdemona, a noblewoman, despite her father’s disapproval. However, Othello’s envious officer, Iago, tricks him into believing that Desdemona is unfaithful with his trusted lieutenant, Cassio. Consumed by jealousy, Othello's love turns to rage, leading him to make a devastating decision. By the time he realizes he has been deceived, it is too late—Desdemona is dead, and Othello, overwhelmed with guilt, takes his own life. The play explores the dangers of manipulation, insecurity, and unchecked emotions.
