OTHELLO
William Shakespeare
Long time ago in Venice¹ there was a rich Senator² who was known as Brabantio. He had a beautiful daughter, the gentle³ Desdemona. She was sought⁴ by various suitors⁵, both of her clime⁶ and complexion⁷, but she found none of her choice. The noble⁸ lady, who regarded⁹ the heart more than the appearance¹⁰ and complexion of man, had chosen the person of her affections¹¹ - a Moor¹², a dark complexioned nobleman, whom her father loved deeply and often invited him to their mansion¹³. The noble Moor, Othello, was a valiant¹⁴ soldier and by his heroics in bloody wars against the Turks¹⁵, he had been raised to the rank of the General¹⁶ and was highly esteemed¹⁷ and revered¹⁸ throughout the state.
Othello had been a great traveller and Desdemona was all the more keen to listen to the stories of adventure that Othello recollected¹⁹ from his experiences in the battles, sieges²⁰ and encounters²¹, the perils²² he had been exposed²³ to, his hair-breadth escapes when he entered a breach²⁴, or marched up²⁵ to the mouth of a cannon²⁶ and how he had been captivated²⁷ by the insolent²⁸ enemy and sold as a slave²⁹, how he demeaned himself in that state, and escaped. Desdemona listened with rapt³⁰ attention of all these accounts, added to the narration of the strange things Othello had seen in foreign countries: the vast wilderness³¹ and romantic caverns³², the quarries³³, the rocks and lofty³⁴ mountains that touched the clouds, the savage³⁵ nations, the cannibals³⁶ who are man-eaters, and a race of people in Africa whose heads do grow beneath their shoulders. These stories enticed Desdemona so much that even if she was called for any household affairs, she would finish off the work with all haste³⁷ and return to Othello with greedy³⁸ ear to devour³⁹ his discourse⁴⁰. At the end of his stories Desdemona would always sigh and then thank him and wished that if he had a friend who loved her, he had only to teach him, how to tell his story, and that would woo⁴¹ her. Upon this hint, delivered not with more frankness⁴² than modesty, and blushes, which Othello could not but understand and he spoke more openly of his love ind thus gained the consent⁴³ of the generous and gorgeous⁴⁴ lady Desdemona to marry him.
Their marriage, which though was privately solemnized⁴⁵, could not be kept a secret for long. When the news reached Brabantio, he appealed to the Duke of Venice and prayed for justice against Othello accusing⁴⁶ him of casting⁴⁷ spell⁴⁸ and witchcraft⁴⁹ to seduce⁵⁰ the gentle Desdemona, winning her heart and marrying her without taking the consent of her father.
Meanwhile, the state of Venice was in urgent need of Othello. The Senate received a news that the Turks had set sail a fleet⁵¹ with mighty⁵² preparation for hostility⁵³ and they were moving towards the island of Cyprus⁵⁴ with the intent⁵⁴ to regain⁵⁵ it from the Venetians⁵⁶. In this state of emergency, Othello was deemed⁵⁷ as the most competent⁵⁸ General to defend Cyprus against the invasion⁵⁹ of the Turks. Hence, Othello was summoned⁶⁰ before the Senate. He was therefore called to the Senate both as a candidate for a noble employment and esteem as well as a culprit⁶¹, charged with offences by Senator Brabantio.
The old Senator was heard with utmost⁶² patience in the assembly⁶³ of the Senators and the infuriated⁶⁴ father accused Othello in outrageous⁶⁵ manner. Hence, when Othello was called upon for his defence, he had only to narrate a simple story of his love, which he did so in such artless⁶⁶ eloquence⁶⁷ that even the Duke had to confess that a tale so told would have won his daughter too. And the spells and conjurations⁶⁸ which Othello had used in his courtship plainly appeared to have been no more than the honest arts of wooing and the only witchcraft which he had used is the skill of telling a soft tale to win a lady's heart.
The statement of Othello was confirmed by Desdemona who appeared in court and acknowledged⁶⁹ that she was bound⁷⁰ by duty to Brabantio for her life and education. But now she has a higher duty to perform for her lover and husband Othello, quite like her mother had done years ago in preferring Brabantio above her father. Unable to maintain his plea, Brabantio accepted the Moor as his son-in-law and told him that with all his heart he would keep her away from him. He was also glad that he had no other child, for this behaviour of Desdemona would have made him a tyrant⁷¹ and hang clogs⁷² on them for desertion⁷³. He even warned Othello about Desdemona who had deceived her father and might also deceive him.
After the trial, Othello readily⁷⁴ went to the war in Cyprus along with Desdemona as she refused to stay with her father any more. She boldly declared, “I loved the Moor to live with him”. So the newly married couple⁷⁵ set sail⁷⁶ for Cyprus. But, as soon they landed in Cyprus, the news arrived that a violent tempest had dispersed⁷⁷ the Turkish fleet and the island was, thus, secure. But the war, which Othello was to suffer, was now beginning and the enemies, which malice⁷⁸ stirred up⁷⁹ against Desdemona, proved in their nature more deadly than strangers or infidels⁸⁰.
Among the friends of Othello, no one possessed⁸¹ his confidence⁸² more than Cassio. He was a young Florentine⁸³ soldier, amorous⁸⁴, and of pleasing nature which attracted the women. He was handsome and eloquent⁸⁵. Any married man of advanced years having a young, beautiful wife would be much alarmed of such a person except Othello who was free from jealousy⁸⁶, as he was noble and incapable⁸⁷ of suspecting⁸⁸ him to be infidel. He had used Cassio in his love affair with Desdemona for Othello feared that he lacked the amorous qualities of Cassio that would please⁸⁹ ladies, and so would often depute⁹⁰ Cassio to court for him; such innocent⁹¹ simplicity being rather an honour than a blemish⁹² to the character of the valiant Moor. It was therefore no wonder if, next to Othello, the gentle Desdemona loved and trusted Cassio. Hence, the marriage of this couple made little difference to their relationship with Cassio. He frequented⁹³ their house, and his free and rattling⁹⁴ talk was endearing⁹⁵ to Othello for he himself was of a serious temper.
Othello had of late promoted Cassio to the rank of Lieutenant, a place of trust and nearest to the General. The promotion⁹⁶ gave great offence to Iago, an elder nobleman, who thought he had a better claim than Cassio and would often scorn⁹⁷ at Cassio to be a person befitting⁹⁸ for the company of ladies, and knew little of the art of warfare⁹⁹. Iago hated Cassio. He also hated Othello for favouring Cassio and also for an unjust suspicion¹⁰⁰ that the Moor was too fond of Emilia, Iago's wife. From these imaginary provocations¹⁰¹, Iago conceived¹⁰² a scheme of revenge¹⁰³ that would involve Cassio, Othello and Desdemona in one common ruin.
Iago was crafty. He studied human mind deeply. He knew that of all the kinds of afflictions¹⁰⁴ that torment¹⁰⁵ man, the pains of jealousy were the most unbearable and had the sorest¹⁰⁶ sting¹⁰⁷. He thought if he could succeed in making Othello envious¹⁰⁸ of Cassio, then it would be an excellent plot of revenge which might culminate¹⁰⁹ in the death of Cassio or Othello or both, he cared not.
The arrival of the General and his lady in Cyprus, and receiving the news of the dispersion of enemy's fleet¹¹⁰, created a sort of holiday mood in the island. Everybody was involved in feasting¹¹¹ and merry making. Cassio had the direction of the guard that night with a charge from Othello to restrain¹¹² the soldiers from drinking excessively. On that night Iago began his deep-laid plans of mischief. Under the guise¹¹³ of loyalty and love to the General, he lured¹¹⁴ Cassio to have a drink, which was a great fault for an officer on guard. Although Cassio resisted initially, yet he soon fell into the guile¹¹⁵ of Iago. He swallowed wine glass after glass and became drunk. Provoked by Iago, he praised the gentle lady Desdemona. He even told Iago, "She is a most exquisite¹¹⁶ lady." At the end he got involved in a scuffle¹¹⁷. Montano, a worthy officer, who interfered to pacify the dispute, was wounded in the scuffle. Taking advantage of the situation Iago spread the alarm causing the castle-bell to be rung as if a dangerous mutiny¹¹⁸ had set in. The bell awakened Othello who dressed in haste came down to the scene of action and asked Cassio of the cause. By now, Cassio had regained some rationality, but was too ashamed to reply. Iago pretended to be reluctant¹¹⁹ to tell the truth, and, as if compelled¹²⁰ by Othello, gave an account of the whole matter in such a manner that it seemed to make Cassio's offence less, but actually made it appear greater than it was. Consequently, Othello who was a strict observer of discipline was forced to take away the rank of lieutenant¹²¹ from Cassio. Thus, Iago's first artifice¹²² succeeded. He had now undermined his hated adversary¹²³ Cassio and was successful to thrust him out of his place.
Cassio, whom this misfortune had entirely sobered¹²⁴, now lamented¹²⁵ to his seeming friend Iago: "Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial¹²⁶. My reputation, Iago, my reputation!" He despised¹²⁷ himself. He thought how he could ask the General for his place again. Iago advised him to apply to the lady to mediate for him with her lord.
Cassio did as Iago advised him. Desdemona promised him that she would be his solicitor with her lord. She immediately set about for this cause in so earnest and pretty a manner that Othello, who was mortally offended with Cassio, could not put her off. When he pleaded delay¹²⁸ because it was too soon to pardon such an offender, she insisted that it should be the next night, or the next morning to that at farthest. Then she showed how penitent¹²⁹ and humbled poor Cassio was and that his offence did not deserve punishment of such magnitude¹³⁰. But Othello still hung back. So she said, "What! my lord, that I should have so much to do to plead for Cassio, Michael Cassio, that came a-courting for you, and oftentimes, when I have spoken in dispraise¹³¹ of you, has taken your part! I count this but a little thing to ask of you. When I mean to try your love indeed, I shall ask a weighty matter." Othello could deny nothing to such a pleader. He promised to receive Michael Cassio again in his favour, but only requested Desdemona to leave the time to him.
It happened that Othello and Iago had entered into the room where Desdemona was already present with Cassio who had been imploring¹³² her intercession¹³³. He departed through the opposite door as Othello entered and Iago, who was full of art, said in a low voice, as if to himself, "I like not that." Othello took no great notice of what he said. The interaction¹³⁴ which immediately took place with Desdemona put it out of his head. But he recalled it later. When Desdemona departed from the scene Iago asked Othello, as if mere satisfaction¹³⁵ of his thought, whether Cassio knew of the General's courtship¹³⁶ with Desdemona. The General replied in affirmative and added that he had gone between them very often during the courtship. Iago raised his brow, as if he had got fresh light on some terrible matter, and remarked, "Indeed!". This brought into Othello's mind the words of Iago which he said while entering the room. Thus he began to think there was some meaning in that private meeting of Desdemona with Cassio. Othello deemed Iago to be a just man, full of love and honesty. So he urged Iago to speak out of what he knew. "And what," said Iago, "if some thoughts very vile should have intruded¹³⁷ into my breast?" he went on to say that it would be a pity if any trouble would arise to Othello out of his imperfect¹³⁸ observations. So it would not be wise for Othello's peace to know his thoughts. By then Othello's curiosity was raised almost to distraction and Iago, as if in earnest care for Othello's peace of mind, sought him to be cautious of jealousy. By the very caution he pretended to give him against suspicion. "I know," said Othello, "that my wife is fair, loves company and feasting, is free of speech, sings, plays, and dances well: but where virtue is, these qualities are virtuous. I must have proof before I think her dishonest." Then Iago, as if glad that Othello was slow to believe ill of his lady, frankly¹³⁹ declared that he had no proof. He begged Othello to observe her behaviour well particularly when Cassio was near by. He should not be jealous or too secure. Iago knew the dispositions¹⁴⁰ of the Italian ladies better than Othello. He knew that in Venice the wives would let the world see their pranks¹⁴¹ but they dared not show their husbands. Iago craftily insinuated¹⁴² that Desdemona deceived her father in marrying with Othello, and carried it so closely, that old Brabantio thought that witchcraft had been used. Othello was much moved by this argument. He wondered if she could deceive her father, she might deceive her husband as well.
Iago begged apology for having moved him. But Othello urged him to go on. Iago pretended that he was reluctant¹⁴³ to produce anything against Cassio whom he called his friend. However, he reminded Othello how Desdemona had rejected many suitable matches of her own clime and complexion and had married him, which showed unnatural in her, and proved her to have a strong will. So when better judgment returned, how probable it was that she would fall upon comparing Othello with the white complexioned young Italians of her countrymen¹⁴⁴. He, therefore, advised Othello to put off his reconcilement¹⁴⁵ with Cassio a little longer. Meanwhile Othello should note with what earnestness Desdemona would solicit¹⁴⁶ for Cassio. So mischievously¹⁴⁷ the treacherous¹⁴⁸ villain laid his plots to turn the gentle qualities of the innocent lady into her destruction, and make a net for her out of her own goodness to entrap¹⁴⁹ her: first setting Cassio on to entreat her mediation, and then out of that very mediation contriving¹⁵⁰ stratagems¹⁵¹ for her ruin.
Othello's long conversation with Iago led him to restlessness. Neither poppy¹⁵², nor the juice of mandragora¹⁵³, nor all the sleeping potions¹⁵⁴ of the world, could once again restore to him that sweet rest which he had enjoyed only yesterday. His occupation sickened upon him. He no longer took delight in arms. His heart, that used to be roused at the sight of troops,would no longer stir at the sound of drums or the neighing¹⁵⁵ of war-horses. He seemed to have lost all that pride and ambition which are the virtues¹⁵⁶ of a soldier. Sometimes he thought his wife to be honest. Again he wondered that she was not. At times he thought Iago to be just, but at times he thought the contrary. Thus, he was torn to pieces with these distracting thoughts. Once he laid hold on Iago's throat, and demanded proof of Desdemona's guilt or threatened instant death for his having belied her. Iago feigned¹⁵⁷ indignation¹⁵⁸ that his honesty was misinterpreted¹⁵⁹ to be a vice. He pointed out if Othello had not sometimes seen a handkerchief spotted with strawberries in the hand of Desdemona, and Othello acknowledged that it was his first gift to Desdemona. "That same handkerchief," said Iago, "did I see Michael Cassio this day wipe his face with." Othello replied, "If it be as you say, I will not rest till a wide revenge swallow them up: first, for a token of your fidelity, I expect that Cassio shall be put to death within three days; and for that fair devil, I will withdraw and devise¹⁶⁰ some swift¹⁶¹ means of death for her."
Othello did not care to enquire how Cassio came by with the handkerchief of Desdemona. He passed death sentence upon both of them. Desdemona had never given such a present to Cassio; nor would this constant¹⁶² lady have ever wronged¹⁶³ her husband with doing so naughty a thing as to give her lord's presents to another man. The shrewd¹⁶⁴ Iago used his wife, Emilia, to steal the handkerchief from Desdemona, under pretence of getting the work copied, but in reality to drop it in Cassio's way, where he might find it, and give a handle¹⁶⁵ to Iago's suggestion that it was Desdemona's present.
Soon after the meeting his wife, Othello pretended that he had a headache, and desired her to lend¹⁶⁶ him her handkerchief to hold on to his temples. Desdemona did so, but Othello wanted the handkerchief which he gave her. Desdemona could not find it. "That's a fault," said Othello. "That handkerchief was given to my mother by an Egyptian woman. She was a charmer¹⁶⁷ and could almost read the thoughts of people; she told her, while she kept it, it would make her amiable¹⁶⁸, and subdue¹⁶⁹ my father entirely to her love; but, if she lost it, or made a gift of it, my father would loathe¹⁷⁰ her as much as he had loved her." The lady said, "Is it possible?" Othello replied, "It is true. It is a magical handkerchief." Desdemona was ready to die with fear, for she plainly perceived that she had lost it, and with it, she feared, the love of her husband. She tried to divert¹⁷¹ him from too serious thoughts. She cheerfully told him that all his talk about the handkerchief was only to put her off from Cassio's suit and went on to praise him until Othello in perfect distraction¹⁷² burst out of the room. Then Desdemona began to suspect that her lord was jealous of Cassio.
When Othello and Desdemona met again, he accused her more plainly of being unfaithful, and of loving another man. Othello wept and told her that he could have borne all sorts of evils with fortitude-poverty, disease and disgrace, but her infidelity had broken his heart. He called her a weed that looked so fair and smelled so sweet that the sense ached at it. He wished she had never been born. When Othello left her, Desdemona was so stupefied¹⁷³ with wonder at her husband's untrue suspicion of her, that a weightlike sleep came over her. She only desired that her attendant¹⁷⁴ to make her bed, and to lay her wedding-sheets upon it. She said that when people teach their babies, they do it by gentle means and easy tasks, and Othello might have chided her so; for in good faith she was but a child when she was children.
Desdemona soon fell asleep. Othello entered the room full of dark purpose which he had meditated¹⁷⁵ of putting her lady to death. When he saw her asleep he thought he would not shed her blood, but he was resolved that should die else she would live to betray¹⁷⁶ more as she had done him. Then he kissed her for the last time and he wept but he said they were cruel tears.
Desdemona was awakened with his kisses. She looked upon Othello, and she saw him gnaw his lips and roll his eyes. She knew he was always fatal when he looked so. He told her to prepare for death and to say her prayers for he would not kill her soul. Desdemona begged for mercy, and to know her fault. Then he named Cassio and the handkerchief which, he said, she had given him, and as the guiltless lady was proceeding to clear herself, he suddenly would hear no more, but covering her up in the bed clothes, stifled¹⁷⁷ her till she died.
At the same time Cassio came in, wounded and bleeding. Iago had set one of his men to assassinate¹⁷⁸ him but the fellow was unable to kill Cassio. He was killed by Iago to prevent discovery. In his pockets were found certain letters which exposed¹⁷⁹ the guilt of lago and confirmed the innocence of Cassio who now came to Othello to beg apology¹⁸⁰ and also to ask him the reason why Iago had been employed to murder him.
The discovery was like a thunderstroke¹⁸¹ to Othello who now felt he was no better than a murder, and that his lady was innocent and faithful. Extreme anguish¹⁸² made life intolerable and killed himself falling upon his sword and throwing himself upon the lifeless body of his dear wife.
These rash acts raised much passion of horror and amazement among the by standers¹⁸³. Othello had borne a fair reputation, and until he was wrought upon¹⁸⁴ by the arts of a villain, he was indeed a loving and doting¹⁸⁵ husband. He had loved Desdemona not wisely, but too well. When he was dead all his former merits and valiant acts were remembered. Iago was executed¹⁸⁶ with strict tortures, and the state of Venice lamented¹⁸⁷ for the demise¹⁸⁸ of their renowned General Othello.
