Othello

A Moorish General, Othello, is tricked into thinking his faithful wife Desdemona is cheating on him with his trusted Lieutenant Cassio, when in truth a resentful Ensign, Iago, is orchestrating the deceit.

In this Shakespearean tragedy, a noblewoman named Desdemona defies convention by marrying a Moorish war hero, Othello, who is also her father's subordinate. However, their union is met with resentment by Iago, Othello's jealous and manipulative subordinate, who exploits the general's vulnerabilities to devastating effect.
