4
Othello was a military general of Venice, his
love was for Desdemona. Desdemona was the
daughter of a Venetian stateman.Iago was a
career military man who wanted revenge against
Othello. Iago made Othello think that between
Desdemona and Cassio, who was a career military
man promoted by Othello, there was an affair.
5
Iago said that because Othello didnt give Iago
the position of lieutenant. Othello demanded to
Desdemona a handkerchief which was Othellos
first present as evidence of fidelity.
Desdemona didnt have the handkerchief because
Iago put it in Cassios chamber.
6
Othello became convinced that Iago was right
about Desdemona and Cassio and thought that
Desdemona must die. Othello awoke the sleeping
Desdemona with a kiss and finally accused her of
infidelity. Desdemona said that she didnt have
an affair with Cassio and that she loved her
husband. Othello didnt believe her, and killed
her.
7
Emilia, Iagos wife, arrived and said to Othello
that Desdemona was a faithful wife and that the
villain was Iago. Othello killed
himself.Othellos last wish was that the people
remembered him as one who once did good service
for Venice and one who loved not wisely, but too
well.
8
Iago didnt die at the end although he was to be
taken away and tortured.
