Othello

The story begins with Roderigo, a wealthy gentleman, expressing his frustration to Iago over the secret marriage of Desdemona, the daughter of a senator, to Othello, a Moorish general. Roderigo's feelings of betrayal stem from his own unrequited love for Desdemona, as he had sought her father's approval for marriage. This sets the stage for a web of deceit and manipulation, highlighting themes of love, jealousy, and betrayal.
