"O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on."

Experience the most intimate and devastating of William Shakespeare's great tragedies. Othello, a heroic Moorish general in the service of Venice, has won the heart of the beautiful and virtuous Desdemona. But their happiness is short-lived, as Othello's ensign, the brilliant and sociopathic Iago, begins to weave a web of lies designed to destroy the General's life.

Through subtle whispers and the calculated use of a misplaced handkerchief, Iago poisons Othello's mind with unfounded suspicions of Desdemona's infidelity. The play is a terrifying masterclass in psychological manipulation, showing how easily noble love can be transformed into murderous rage.

This definitive edition presents the original text of a work that remains shockingly modern in its exploration of race, domesticity, and the nature of evil. A cornerstone of the Elizabethan theatre, Othello features Shakespeare's most complex villain and a tragic hero whose fall is as inevitable as it is heartbreaking.

Witness the power of a lie. Buy "Othello" today and experience a masterwork of suspense and tragedy.
