Othello

The narrative centers on Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, whose secret marriage to Desdemona incites jealousy and betrayal. Iago, Othello's envious ensign, schemes to ruin him by fabricating an affair between Desdemona and Cassio, leading to devastating consequences. This tightly woven drama explores themes of jealousy and deceit, drawing inspiration from a 16th-century tale by Cinthio. The edition features annotations by Henry N. Hudson and an introduction by Charles H. Herford, enhancing its literary value.
