"Οθέλλος" 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 calculated deception and exploitation of trust, Iago orchestrates a web of lies that transforms Othello's love into deadly jealousy. Considered one of Shakespeare's greatest works, the play explores themes of manipulation, jealousy, and the destructive power of suspicion, featuring some of Shakespeare's most demanding and complex roles.
