Viac o knihe

Jealousy and betrayal drive the plot of this tragedy, set against the backdrop of the Ottoman-Venetian War for Cyprus. Othello, a distinguished black general, unwittingly becomes the target of Iago's malicious schemes after he chooses Cassio as his lieutenant over Iago. Iago's envy leads him to manipulate Othello into believing that his wife, Desdemona, is unfaithful, culminating in a dramatic exploration of love, trust, and the destructive power of deceit.
