The Tragedy Of Othello, The Moor Of Venice

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on." -Iago. Othello is such a competent man, it's shocking how quickly the good things in his life fall apart. The beautiful Desdemona falls in love with him-but her father is furious to the point of murder that she has eloped with a Moor. Othello proudly promotes Cassio, a young soldier of his-but Cassio's fellow officer Iago is poisonously envious of the favor. And Iago doesn't just want Cassio's demotion. He works to turn the lives of Othello and Cassio and Desdemona into smoking ruins.
