2 Reading Task 1 William Shakespeare is England s greatest writer, famous for his plays and poetry. His plays can be divided into comedies, histories and tragedies. Othello is one of Shakespeare s tragedies. Read the following summary of Othello and answer the questions that follow. 1. The play begins on a street in Venice. Desdemona, the daughter of a rich, white Venetian, has married Othello, a general of African descent. He has an ensign (assistant) called Iago, who has served him for many years. Iago is angry because another man called Cassio has been promoted above him by Othello. He hates both Othello and Cassio and vows to plot against them both to get his revenge. 2. At Othello s lodgings, Cassio arrives with an urgent message: Othello s help is needed to defend Cyprus from the Turks who are about to invade the island. Desdemona insists that she accompany her husband on his trip and they depart that night. 3. Othello arrives in Cyprus, greets his wife, and announces that there will be a party that night. He does not realise that his ensign Iago is plotting to break up his marriage to Desdemona. Iago plans to pretend to Othello that his wife is in love with Cassio. 4. That night, Iago gets Cassio drunk and he gets involved in a fight. When Othello demands to know who began the fight, Iago tells him it was Cassio s fault. Othello then takes away Cassio s rank of lieutenant. Cassio is extremely upset as his good reputation has been ruined forever.

3 5. Iago is very cunning and drops hints to Othello that his new wife is not to be trusted and he should be suspicious of Cassio. Desdemona accidentally drops her handkerchief and Iago uses it to convince Othello that his wife has been unfaithful. Othello vows to take vengeance on his wife and on Cassio. 6. Due to Iago s constant persuasion, Othello becomes so consumed by jealousy that he falls into a trance and has a fit of epilepsy. He comes round and Iago tricks him again into believing Cassio and his wife are guilty. Othello gets a letter from Venice calling him home and instating Cassio as his replacement. Othello is furious, strikes Desdemona and then storms out. 6. Later that night Othello accuses Desdemona of being unfaithful. She pleads with her husband telling him she is innocent. In the bedroom, his extreme jealousy drives him to suffocate her with a pillow. Too late, Iago s wife confesses the truth about her husband s plots to Othello and he realises his terrible mistake. He tries to kill Iago but is disarmed. The once noble Othello makes a speech about how he would like to be remembered, then kills himself with a sword he had hidden on his person. The play closes.
