castle of otranto
while shakespeare closely followed cinthio's tale in composing "othello", he departed from it in some details. brabantio, roderigo, and several minor characters are not found in cinthio, for example, and shakespeare's emilia takes part in the handkerchief mischief while her counterpart in cinthio does not. unlike in "othello", in cinthio, the "ensign" (the play's iago) lusts after desdemona and is spurred to revenge when she rejects him. shakespeare's opening scenes are unique to his tragedy, as is the tender scene between emilia and desdemona as the lady prepares for bed. shakespeare's most striking departure from cinthio is the manner of his heroine's death. in shakespeare, othello suffocates desdemona, but in cinthio, the "moor" commissions the "ensign" to bludgeon his wife to death with a sand-filled stocking. cinthio describes each gruesome blow, and, when the lady is dead, the "ensign" and the "moor" place her lifeless body upon her bed, smash her skull, and cause the cracked ceiling above the bed to collapse upon her, giving the impression its falling rafters caused her death. in cinthio, the two murderers escape detection. the "moor" then misses desdemona greatly, and comes to loathe the sight of the "ensign". he demotes him, and refuses to have him in his company. the "ensign" then seeks revenge by disclosing to the "squadron leader" the "moor's" involvement in desdemona's death. the two depart cyprus for venice, and denounce the "moor" to the venetian seigniory; he is arrested, taken to venice, and tortured. he refuses to admit his guilt and is condemned to exile. desdemona's relatives eventually find and kill him. the "ensign", however, continues to escape detection in desdemona's death, but engages in other crimes while in venice. he is arrested and dies after being tortured. cinthio's "ensign's wife" (the play's emilia), survives her husband's death to tell her story.
