Othello

William Shakespeare

​

Main CharactersOthello: A courageous general whose insecurities are exploited to turn his love into murderous rage. Desdemona: A virtuous and loyal wife whose innocence makes her tragic end particularly heart-wrenching. Iago: A master manipulator who destroys Othello purely out of envy and a love for chaos.

​

First Performance: 1604, at Whitehall Palace

Highly successful; noted for its claustrophobic tension and the psychological depth of its antagonist.
