It is frequently performed at both amateur and professional levels. The play begins with the brief appearance of a trio of witches and then moves to a military camp where the Scottish King Duncan hears the news that his generals Macbeth and Banquo have defeated two separate invading armies—one from Ireland led by the rebel Macdonwald and one from Norway.
Following their pitched battle with these enemy forces Macbeth and Banquo encounter the witches as they cross a moor. The witches prophesy that Macbeth will be made thane a rank of Scottish nobility of Cawdor and eventually King of Scotland. The previous thane betrayed Scotland by fighting for the Norwegians and Duncan has condemned him to death. Macbeth writes ahead to his wife Lady Macbeth telling her all that happened there.
If anything Othello has increased its stature as one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies ever since it was first written between and due to the victimisation suffered by its tragic hero Othello as a result of his skin colour. Othello is a "noble Moor" a North African Muslim who has converted to Christianity and is deemed one of the Venetian state's most reliable soldiers. However his ensign Iago harbours an obscure hatred against his general and when Othello secretly marries the beautiful daughter of the Venetian senator Brabanzio Iago begins his subtle campaign of vilification which will inevitably lead to the deaths of more than just Othello and Desdemona.
An extraordinary play both for its dramatic economy and power as well as its remarkable language from Othello's bombastic "traveller's history" to Desdemona's elegiac "willow song" the play raises uncomfortable questions about ongoing questions of not only racial identity but also sexuality as Othello and Desdemona's sexual relationship becomes the voyeuristic site of Iago's attempt to destroy them.
Particularly fascinated with the question of what it means to "see" Othello also contains one of the greatest tragic death scenes in all of Shakespeare with Othello's final identification with "a malignant and a turbaned Turk". Why not both?
