Watch Shakespeare's Othello for free

Shakespeare's keen understanding of jealousy in love results in perhaps his greatest triumph as a stage play, and his prime example of the tragic hero Othello. Othello, a noble Moor, has in his command Iago, a lieutenant who is insanely jealous of Othello's success and higher rank. Othello elopes with Desdemona. At every turn, Iago plots to exploit Othello, undermine his trust in Desdemona, and deceive him into a deadly jealousy. Iago’s schemes end with Desdemona’s murder and Othello’s suicide.
