Othello (Bantam Classic)

Othello (Bantam Classic)

Though this great tragedy of unsurpassed intensity and emotion is played out against Renaissance splendor, its story of the doomed marriage of a Venetian senatorâ€™s daughter, Desdemona, to a Moorish general, Othello, is especially relevant to modern audiences. The differences in race and background create an initial tension that allows the horrifyingly envious villain Iago methodically to promote the â€œgreen-eyed monsterâ€ jealousy, until, in one of the most deeply moving scenes in theatrical history, the noble Moor destroys the woman he lovesâ€“only to discover too late that she was innocent.
