In Shakespeare’s poetic tragedy Othello, passionate desire unravels into all-consuming madness. The celebrated Moorish general Othello cherishes the high-born Venetian lady Desdemona with a love so great that it should transcend cultural and social differences, but instead it leaves them defenseless before the deadly intrigues of the vengeful Iago. Othello, a great success in Shakespeare’s time, was one of the first plays to be acted after the reopening of the theaters in 1660, and since that time has remained one of the most popular plays of the English stage.
