The first quarto was printed by Nicholas Okes for Walkley and appeared in 1622. Othello was entered by Thomas Walkley on the Stationers’ Register on 6 October 1621. Printed from the first quarto, with amendments probably derived from the first folio. Believed to have been printed from a scribal transcript (probably by Ralph Crane) of Shakespeare’s fair copy of the play. The text is also among the few to have page numbers. Othello is the first of the ‘good’ quartos of Shakespeare’s plays to divide the text into acts.

Othello appeared in four editions before 1642. Was played at court by the King’s Men on 1 November 1604. The play ‘hath beene diuerse times acted at the Globe, andĪt the Black-Friers, by his Maiesties seruants’. The title-page of the first quarto, published in 1622, states that These suggest that Othello must have been written by early 1603, and probably before July 1602 when Hamlet was entered on the Stationers’ Register. There are several echoes of Othello in the first quarto of Hamlet, published in 1603. One important source for Othello was Philemon Holland’s translation of Pliny, Historie of the World, published in 1601.

Much can be learned from Act 1, but with so much left to be read we just have to wait until everything comes full circle.Othello has been dated to between mid-1601 and mid-1602. With that being said Iago’s plan to get back at Othello (for who knows what…) at the end of Act 1 is definitely going spice the rest of this “tragedy” up a notch. Funny thing is didn’t Brabantio say that Roderigo was not worthy enough for his daughter’s hand earlier? So much has unraveled in Act 1 of Othello. Some one way, some another!”(Shakespeare 198-199) Brabantio implies that he would rather have Desdemona be with Roderigo than Othello. With this statement, “O! That you had had her. The irony in all of this is that, when Roderigo tells Brabantio that Desdemona escaped and married Othello, he suddenly changes his mind about Roderigo being entwined with his daughter. However, that will not stop Othello from professing his love for her, not at all. No one can have Desdemona, not Othello and not even Roderigo. This is known when he tells Roderigo “My daughter is not for thee” (Shakespeare 109). He believes that no one is or will be good enough for her. Clearly, Brabantio is not viewing Desdemona as his daughter, he is looking at her like she is his prisoner. He (Brabantio) says “O heaven! How got she out?”(Shakespeare 190). To Brabantio, Othello has stolen his most prize possession, his daughter. Does it have anything to do with drugs? magic? Brabantio cannot seem to come up with the right answer. With that being said, the Brabantio begins to question how someone such as beautiful and powerful as she (Desdemona), can run away with someone like Othello. Since Iago and Roderigo work with the Brabantio (who happens to be Desdemona’s father), it is easy for them to convince him to go against Othello. No matter the case, Roderigo and Iago have the outs for Othello, and from what we have seen so far they won’t be backing down anytime soon. Some call it “hard work”, while others may call it “luck”. He can’t seem to comprehend how the “moor” has attained all that he has in his life (the beautiful Desdemona and his position as General). Roderigo and Iago have an ongoing feud (well only to their knowledge) with Othello. But of course, when things sound too good to be true, it is because they are too good to be true. The reason being is not out of embarrassment or having feelings of being ashamed, but because they would like to express their love for each other in the most sincere way possible. Two people withholding secrets from their “village outsiders” (family, townsmen, etc.).

How could someone like him be with a beautiful girl like Desdemona? It’s a bunch of hoopla! Othello can be seen as a love story thus far. The “moor” signifies how different Othello is in his appearance and character.
