One of the finest tragedies of world literature, Othello is a product of Shakespeare’s mature period, when he was at his best. Othello – Shakespeare’s adaptation of the story of “the moor of Venice” is a world famous tragedy of the fall of a great man. But unlike the Italian original Shakespeare’s Othello is basically a good-natured man, well-mannered and not jealous by nature. It is only when wrought to the extreme that he finally decides to murder Desdmona. The rapid and unified action of the play no only makes it very interesting, but it is also imperative, from the point of view of credibility. In keeping with the tight scheme of action there are not many characters. Also, there are no kings and princess among the principal characters. Othello, although a general was basically an ordinary man, who had risen to this status by dint of sheer hard work. In that sense, Othello is one tragedy of Shakespeare, where the audience identifies with the principal characters.
