One text that I can compare Othello to is Medea. Medea was such a marvelous story that had such a well-rounded narration and important points throughout the book. I think Medea is a good pick because they both are telling the story of two couples that go through a very rough road in their marriage but also affect the whole outcome of the story. In Medea, Medea gets furious that her husband has broken their sacred vows of marriage to marry the daughter of the royal family. But in Othello, Desdemona and Othello are happily in love but jealousy of their peers gets between them. In each story I believe betrayal plays a huge role in the actions that each character takes.
