Othello Pdf

Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro (“A Moorish Captain”) by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army and his unfaithful ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge, and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.

Othello Summary

Othello is an adaptation of the Italian writer Cinthio’s tale “Un Capitano Moro” (“A Moorish Captain”) from his Gli Hecatommithi (1565), a collection of one hundred tales in the style of Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron. No English translation of Cinthio was available in Shakespeare’s lifetime, and verbal echoes in Othello are closer to the Italian original than to Gabriel Chappuy’s 1584 French translation. Cinthio’s tale may have been based on an actual incident occurring in Venice about 1508. It also resembles an incident described in the earlier tale of “The Three Apples”, one of the stories narrated in the One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights). Desdemona is the only named character in Cinthio’s tale, with his few other characters identified only as the “Moor”, the “Squadron Leader”, the “Ensign”, and the “Ensign’s Wife” (corresponding to the play’s Othello, Cassio, Iago, and Emilia). Cinthio drew a moral (which he placed in the mouth of Desdemona) that it is unwise for European women to marry the temperamental men of other nations. Cinthio’s tale has been described as a “partly racist warning” about the dangers of miscegenation.
