Abstract	Abstract: Othello, one of the richest cult work by Shakespeare like other works weaves around many themes like mistrust, sexual jealousy, deception and hypocrisy emerging from racial discrimination. When the tragic hero’s love for Desdemona is poisoned by the antagonist Iago, he kills his lover. But justice has to be brought and it is the duty of the authority to serve justice in the state. But is state only a piece of land or it can also refered to the inner state of the human mind leading to the destruction of the country state. Hubris led to the downfall of a pure love and suspicion led to the destruction of many relationships. After the death of the hero the offbeat characters served justice. It may be compared to modern works in various aspects. If we consider Hamlet, it was about Oedipus complex and Macbeth was about succession of throne. On the other hand King Lear is about ruining relationship between father and daughter due to conflicting loyalties in marriage. A fantastic work had been done by Shakespeare which has served and will serve readers through ages.
