“Othello‚ the Moor of Venice‚” is a play written by William Shakespeare sometime during the beginning of the 1600s. Typical of plays at the time‚ it was written in a dramatic style and tells the tragic story of Othello‚ a general in the Venetian army‚ and his marriage to Desdemona‚ the daughter of a politician in Venice.
