| Publisher Description: One of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies, Othello sets itself apart with its personal scale, fascinating plot and compelling, exotic characters. It shows the two sides of passion with shocking clarity. At first great love overcomes the great differences in social status, age, and race between Othello and Desdemona and their mutual devotion seems invulnerable. But the waves of passion are turned to obsessive jealousy at the hand of Iago, the perfect villain, who has set out to destroy Othello on a personal mission of revenge. With a faultlessly executed plan, Iago sews the seeds of doubt and mistrust that pervert Othello's once noble mind and ensnares those closest to him into a miserable web of deceit and doom. This powerful drama, with its gripping dialogue and unequalled poetry, is not to be missed. |
