"Othello" by William Shakespeare is a tragic play written in the early 17th century. The story revolves around Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, and his descent into jealousy and tragedy orchestrated by his envious ensign, Iago. The main themes include love, betrayal, jealousy, and racism. The opening of "Othello" introduces us to the tension and conflict that will drive the narrative forward. It begins with Roderigo, who is deeply upset over Othello's marriage to Desdemona, Brabantio's daughter. Iago, who harbors his own resentment against Othello for promoting Cassio instead, manipulates Roderigo into a plan to disrupt Othello's happiness. Their conspiratorial discussions lead to the awakening of Brabantio, who is horrified to learn of Desdemona's elopement with Othello. The groundwork for the tragedy is established through Iago's duplicity and the racial prejudices of the time, foreshadowing the tragic events that will unfold throughout the play.
