Othello act 1 and 2
Among many Shakespearian tragedy, Othello was the only unfamiliar story to me. I only knew the major stream of story and never bother to read this unlike his other writings. Othello was written differently compare to other Shakespearian tragedy that Othello's tragic life has nothing to do with family,nor kingdom. Othello tells story of a man who were happy but yet he has sense of inferiority toward others. He was a black man and married to beautiful white woman named Desdemona. When Aigo was rejected for his promotion from Othello, he seeks for vengeance. Othello was set up by Aigo to mistrust his own wife Desdemona that she was cheating on him with handsome white man named Cassio. Othello ended up killing Desdemona with his own hand. Later he finds out that it was all Aigo's plan. His heartbreak led to his suicide. This is a story of a man who doubt himself and shallow up by his inferiority.
