Othello is a powerful drama created by William Shakespeare that delves into the complexities of a marriage that starts with fascination and intense mutual devotion but ends in jealous rage and tragic demises. The play transports the audience to the romantic Mediterranean, transitioning from Venice to the island of Cyprus, and adds an exotic touch with tales of Othello's African past.

The narrative weaves a tale of stark contrasts between the hero, Othello, a Moor, and Desdemona, a Venetian lady. Despite differences in race, age, and cultural background, their love is portrayed as strong enough to overcome these obstacles. However, the malevolent Iago, who harbors a deep-seated hatred for Othello, sets out to dismantle this love through deceit and manipulation.

As Othello falls prey to Iago's insinuations of Desdemona's infidelity, the early fascination morphs into horror, particularly for the audience. We witness the generous and trusting Othello caught in Iago's web, and the innocent Desdemona, completely devoted to her love, subjected to Othello's brutal accusations and assaults—a result of his erroneous beliefs about her loyalty.
