Abstract
William Shakespeare’s source for his tragedy Othello is the Italian novella “A Moorish Captain,” written by Giraldi Cinthio in 1565 as part of his work Hecatommithi. Shakespeare’s retelling of the story is particularly interesting because Shakespeare alters the roles of the important female characters of the play.
