It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, a disciple Boccacio, first published in 1565. 

The story revolves around four central characters :
Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army.
Desdemona, Othello's beloved wife.
Cassio, his loyal lieutenant.
Lago, his trusted but ultimately unfaithful ensign.]]> 2017-04-12 12:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/addina1amiruddin/playwrightothello/wish/166060947 sufina02 https://padlet.com/addina1amiruddin/playwrightothello/wish/166193406 The play is about the power and political struggles in Venice, where Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army resides with his wife, Desdemona, Cassio, his loyal lieutenant and Iago, his trusted but ultimately unfaithful ensign. The conflict starts when Iago frames Cassio to put him in Othello's disfavour. He then convinces Cassio to do things to get him back on Othello's good side, but this is just manipulation on Iago's side. The play ends when Othello, in his rage and jealousy, murders his own beloved wife, Desdemona, thinking that she was unfaithful. Othello then breaks down and kills himself when he finds out that his wife is innocent and true to him.]]> 2017-04-13 03:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/addina1amiruddin/playwrightothello/wish/166193406 sufina02 https://padlet.com/addina1amiruddin/playwrightothello/wish/166194219 Name: William Shakespeare
