Summary:
Othello "loves not wisely, but too well." Desdemona epitomizes unconditional love. Coming between them is their most trusted friend, Iago. On the outside he is honest and good--but on the inside, he is perhaps the most cunning villain of all time, orchestrating an entire chain of fateful events. Through the power of an untrue word--and a stolen token of a bond once thought unbreakable--Desdemona becomes everything she is not, in the eyes of a man who can no longer see clearly.
