A Who’s Who guide to Othello Thursday 6th June A Who’s Who guide to Othello Othello is one of Shakespeare’s tragedies. This mean the hero has a fatal flaw which leads to his downfall. Like Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet, Othello ends with a large body count!

Othello General of the Venice army Highly respected but not a native – originally from Africa, known as a Moor Eloquent (Clever speaker) and powerful figure A racial and cultural outsider Before the play starts, has secretly married Desdemona – but her father doesn’t know this yet! (Despite his status in the army, being a Moor means he would not approve)

Desdemona New bride of Othello Young daughter of the powerful Venice senator (politician) Brabantio Was seduced by Othello’s heroic war stories Her handmaid (Emilia) is Iago’s wife.

Iago The villain of the play! Othello’s ensign – a senior soldier: Believes he should have been made lieutenant on experience instead of Cassio. Hates Othello but the general considers him trustworthy, loyal and honest: Often it is only the audience who know the truth! Tricks and manipulates many of the other characters – including his friend Roderigo!

Roderigo Young, rich and a bit of an idiot! In love with Desdemona – convinced that if he gives him all his money, Iago will help him win Desdemona’s hand (ie. Gullible) Jealous of Othello having married his dream girl!

Michael Cassio Othello’s lieutenant Highly educated but young and inexperienced in battle Cares deeply about his reputation Iago hates Cassio!
