Narrative retells the dramatic and tragic story of one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. The Renaissance city of Venice is amazed when one of its beautiful, rich young women, Desdemona, runs away from home to marry Othello, the mercenary African general. Yet the marriage is largely accepted because of Othello’s well-deserved reputation as Venice’s noble defender, along with the obvious mutual devotion between him and his innocent bride.
