About Othello the Moore of Venice

It was among Shakespeare's most famous plays during his lifetime.Othello the moore of venice is a tragic play composed by William Shakespeare, most likely in 1603, set in the contemporary Ottoman-Venetian War period(1570-1573) battling to conquer the Island of Cyprus, beginning around 1489 an ownership of the Venetian Republic. The port city of Famagusta, at last, tumbled to the Ottomans in 1571 after an extended attack. The story revolves around two characters, Othello and Iago. Othello is a Moorish military commandant who was working as a general of the Venetian armed force in Cyprus against attack by Ottoman Turks. He got married to Desdemona, a lovely and well-off Venetian woman who is younger than himself, against the desires of her father. Iago is Othello's malignant ensign, who perniciously stirs up his lord's envy until the normally apathetic Moor kills his dearest spouse in an attack of mindless fury. Because of its persevering through subjects of enthusiasm, envy, and race, Othello is as yet effective and famous and is broadly performed, with various transformations.
