# Othello

By William Shakespeare.

"Othello" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written around 1603. Set in Venice and Cyprus, the play follows Moorish military commander Othello as his ensign Iago manipulates him into suspecting his wife Desdemona of infidelity. Through cunning schemes involving a handkerchief and manufactured evidence, Iago exploits Othello's trust while pursuing his own revenge. The play explores themes of jealousy, deception, and race, and is considered one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies alongside Macbeth, King Lear, and Hamlet.
