Vuonna 1603 ilmestynyt Othello on eräs Shakespearen tiukimmin rakentuneista draamoista. Tarinaa ajaa eteenpäin jääkylmän juonitteleva paholaishahmo, Jago. Tarina alkaa, kun Jago kokee tulleensa ylikävellyksi Othellon nimetessä Cassion luutnantiksi. Othello, jolta tragedia saa nimensä, on pohjoisafrikkalaislähtöinen kenraali Venetsian kaupunkivaltiossa. Ensimmäisten kostotoimiensa epäonnistuttua Jago jatkaa tuhoisia metkujaan, ja vaikka tämän uratavoitteet lopulta täyttyvät, ei Jago lopeta. Hän myrkyttää Othellon ja tämän rakastetun Desdemonan välisen rakkauden.
