The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice a Tragedy by William Shakespeare
A Tragedy of prejudice and domestic violence. We start out in Venice, honest Iago let's the audience know he hates Othello, a man who has quickly risen to General despite being the only person of color around. O has also taken for his bride, lily white Desdemona, who Iago is obsessing over hard. Did I mention Iago is married? Iago thinks O his schtupping his lady (Emilia) on the side, but has no proof, so devises a plot to ruin O's rep. The gang embarks to Cyprus, because, scenery, hello! Iago uses Emilia as a pawn to steal Des' strawberry embroidered handkerchief, O's first gift to her. Emilia goes along with this for some reason and Iago plants the hanky in Cassio's room, a hunky Captain. Iago poisons O's mind with jealous notions about his girl, and O falls for it. Now keep in mind O, even being a high ranking military official, still gets a lot of crap just for being the only black man in the Mediterranean, so it appears honest Iago is the only man to have his back... also his name is honest Iago, he couldn't lie... could he?
Meanwhile Emilia is getting worried for her bestie Des, she's noticing O's jealous fits and steps in. She tells Des straight up that she can't be letting her man emotionally or physically abuse her, but Des just loves him too much and knows he means well. Eventually O explodes with jealousy and strangles Des in their bed, and in her dying breath Des denies he hurt her. Come on! Emilia finally puts 2+2 together and reveals her husband has been orchestrating this whole thing. Iago kills Emilia for snitching, then runs away, then gets caught, then O confesses, stabs Iago, but doesn't kill him so he can live out his life in prison, then kills himself out of guilt.
