He devises elaborate schemes to turn Othello against Cassio by implicating Cassio in a tryst with Desdemona, Othello's bride.    The scapegoating plan works, and in a jealous rage Othello smothers his beloved. When he learns he has been duped, Othello kills himself. The author of the tragic deaths, Iago, is ordered by the new general, Cassio, to torture and execution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43662936965180,"sku":null,"price":14.73,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9780198328735.jpg?v=1762958045","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/fr\/products\/othello-oxford-school-shakespeare-16321","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
