Othello is Shakespeare’s most intimate tragedy — a play in which one man’s poisonous insinuations are enough to destroy a marriage, a general, and several lives. Iago’s manipulation of the noble Moor Othello, twisting his confidence in his wife Desdemona into consuming jealousy, is one of literature’s most chilling portrayals of calculated malice.
First performed around 1603, the play remains urgently relevant in its exploration of race, trust, and the ease with which certainty can be undone. This free EPUB is cleanly formatted for Kindle, Kobo, or any e-reader.
