Othello (Annotated by Henry N. Hudson with an Introduction by Charles Harold Herford)

The drama explores themes of jealousy and betrayal through the tragic story of Othello, a Moorish general who faces turmoil after secretly marrying Desdemona, the daughter of a disapproving senator. Roderigo’s unrequited love for Desdemona and Iago’s vengeful manipulation lead Othello to believe his wife is unfaithful, resulting in a cascade of tragic events. This adaptation, based on a 16th-century tale, highlights the destructive power of deceit and the consequences of misplaced trust. The edition features annotations and an introduction for deeper understanding.
