Othello

Othello Othello Othello, by William Shakespeare, is a story of a heartbreaking and tragic hero, Othello. The play is centered on love, hate, deception, and turmoil. In my analysis of Othello I found the play demonstrates the battle of good vs. evil, irony, and tragedy. Othello begins in the city of Venice during a dispute between the rich Roderigo and the deceitful Iago. Iago has been getting paid to assist Roderigo in courting Desdemona, the daughter of a Venetian Senator, only Des has secretly married Othello, a general whom Iago serves under. Iago despises Othello for passing him up on his most recent promotion for the position of Lieutenant in favor of Cassio, an inexperienced soldier. As the story carries on, Iago discovers the secret marriage of Othello and Des. Iago decides to tell Des’s father that she has been kidnapped and married to Othello due to his witchcraft, and then quickly rushes to Othello to tell him of the Senators arrival. Cassio then arrives at Othello’s home to inform him that the Duke needs him in the matter of the Turkish invasion of Cyrus.
