You'll be impressed by the differences.<br/>Othello, the Moor of Venice is another tragedy by William Shakespeare, most likely written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio. The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army and his unfaithful ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.
