Approved

Otello is an intimate drama – a clear-eyed examination of the most destructive and negative of human emotions: jealousy and envy. But these emotions can only exist in relation to society.
The power of Venice was founded entirely on commerce and caste. To ensure that wealth remained concentrated in the noble families rather than dissipating down the generations, it was normal for only one son and one daughter in each family to marry. Others became business men or politicians, nuns or maiden aunts. With so many unmarried nobles abroad it is easy to imagine why Venice had an international reputation for sexual permissiveness.
The three main protagonists of the tragedy are all excluded from the centre of this society: Otello is foreign, seen as black, marked out by his cultural, linguistic, religious, and regional origins; Jago is not a nobleman; Desdemona has betrayed her noble family, and cut herself off, by marrying against her father's wishes. Cassio, by contrast, is firmly part of the establishment. Such a society is a fertile breeding-ground for the pernicious virus of jealousy – especially when the subject is a man who is an outsider, and for whom the inner workings of Venetian society remain a mystery, a vortex of nods and winks, while its morality is all too apparent.
