Othello is centred around the issue of sexual jealousy, and its impact on love and marriage. the play, in contrast to Shakespeare's other main tragedies, is grounded in temporality and less affected by the supernatural. Images of the natural world are foregrounded, and the plot tells of events on a smaller scale and with less universal implications.
Yet the play's tragic hero, Othello, encounters a self-knowledge for which all of humanity grapples.
