Ms. Glunz and Othello
Some notes about the location of Othello:
The first act takes place in Venice, which is where Desdemona lives with her father and where Othello works for the Venetian state (Venice). The rest of the play is set on the island of Cyprus; Othello is sent to Cyprus to repel a Turkish (Turkey) invasion of the island, which was under Venetian control at that time.
