Based on Shakespeare's play: As Venice welcomes their victorious
general, Othello the Moor, back to the city, some of them are waiting
for Othello to choose his new lieutenant, while others are busy
courting the popular Desdemona, the daughter of a Senator. Othello
chooses the loyal Cassio as his lieutenant, arousing bitter jealousy
in Iago, another soldier, who vows to scheme against his general. That
same night, Othello elopes with Desdemona. Othello is soon sent to
Cyprus to repel a Turkish invasion, and he arranges for Iago and his
wife to bring Desdemona with them to Cyprus. When Iago's wife learns
of a treasured handkerchief that Othello gave to Desdemona, this
provides Iago with an idea that he hopes will destroy Othello by
provoking him to jealousy.
