La historia original del moro de Venecia, de Gianbattista Giraldi Cinthio (1565), sirvió a William Shakespeare para crearáOtelo, la única de sus grandes tragedias basada en una obra de ficción.á Contraviniendo la imagen isabelina del moro, Shakespeare invierte los papeles de los protagonistas y otorga al moro Otelo el carácter de hombre noble y aristocrático, mientras que reserva para el italiano Yago la perversidad y la hipocresía, desarrollando en él uno de los estudios más profundos del mal. Al final, el protagonista, como un auténtico héroe trágico, consciente de su degradación y de su pérdida, escribe su propio epitafio, con la angustia del héroe destrozado.á Traducción y edición de Ángel-Luis Pujante, premio Nacional de Traducción.
