About This Book
Shakespeare's renowned tragedy about the destruction wrought by ambition and jealousy.
Othello, a Moor and general in the Venetian army, has just eloped with Desdemona, the daughter of a senator. Simultaneously, seeds of doubt are planted in Othello's mind by the scheming Iago—an ensign who seethes with ambition and resentment—with assistance from Iago's wealthy friend who wanted Desdemona for himself. Behind the scenes, Iago's machinations are designed to sow discord and, ultimately, convince Othello that his wife is unfaithful—and the consequences will be tragic.

SCENE I. Cyprus. Before the Castle.
Enter Cassio and some Musicians.
CASSIO.
Masters, play here, I will content your pains,
Something that’s brief; and bid “Good morrow, general.”
[Music.]
Enter Clown.
CLOWN.
Why, masters, have your instruments been in Naples, that they speak i’ the nose thus?
FIRST MUSICIAN.
How, sir, how?
CLOWN.
Are these, I pray you, wind instruments?
FIRST MUSICIAN.
Ay, marry, are they, sir.
CLOWN.
O, thereby hangs a tail.
FIRST MUSICIAN.
Whereby hangs a tale, sir?
CLOWN.
Marry, sir, by many a wind instrument that I know. But, masters, here’s money for you: and the general so likes your music, that he desires you, for love’s sake, to make no more noise with it.
FIRST MUSICIAN.
Well, sir, we will not.
CLOWN.
If you have any music that may not be heard, to’t again. But, as they say, to hear music the general does not greatly care.
FIRST MUSICIAN.
We have none such, sir.
CLOWN.
Then put up your pipes in your bag, for I’ll away. Go, vanish into air, away!
