Othello is my favourite Shakespeare play and I have watched many different productions of it.
I don't know the story of 'Omkara', but basically Othello is a Moorish (black) general working in Venice.
He makes an enemy of Iago when he appoints Cassio as his chief lieutenant.
Othello is married to a beautiful young white girl, Desdemona.
Iago comes up with a plan to ruin Cassio and Othello, who thinks of Iago as a loyal, trustworthy friend.
He manages to trick Othello into getting rid of Cassio and then makes Othello think that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio.
Eventually with all of Iago's tricks, Othello strangles Desdemona.
Emilia, Iago's wife and Desdemona's servant, realises what her husband has been doing and tells Othello - who then kills himself.
That is a very condensed story of Othello - apologies to all Shakespeare scholars!!
To give myself a little Shakespeare street cred I will just add that Othello wanted to be remembered as a man who "loved not wisely but too well,"

Hi oldchem1,
Your complement on Othello is very informative and I have got very clear conception on Othello. Shakespeare is a master human mind reader and what he wrote still recognized the best writing of the world. I like his psychological investigation in human mind and what he showed in Othello is amazing. I am very fan of Shakespeare writings and when i get time I read his writing.
