Othello, William Shakespeare

Othello is a story which takes place in Venice. The main theme for the story would be jealousy. It had all started with Iago. When Cassio was picked of lieutenancy instead of Iago became jealous and he plotted revenge with Roderigo who desires Desdemona, the wife of Othello. Iago goes to Othello and tells stories of Cassio having an affair with Desdemona. Othello does not believe it at first but as time goes on, with more and more lies, it drives him insane. Othello, jealous of Cassio, kills Desdemona in his anger. Later he realized Iago fooled him and commits suicide. In the end, jealous caused the death of both Othello and his wife Desdemona. Whether jealousy was hidden or a bright star in the sky, it was always present.
