... ear and simple and no characters in either
show any respectable moral values. There are
practically no differences between Shakespeare and
Chaucer's version, only that Shakespeare added in
many new scenes, making his more descriptive and
longer. (Thompson 13 - 17, 64 - 68) Boccaccio's
Decameron, specifically Day III, Story 9, is
almost certain to be the chief source used by
Shakespeare in writing All's Well That Ends Well.
However, Shakespeare probably used the English

Shakespeare's protagonists Othello and Hamlet are
for the most part, completely unalike in the ways
that they handle the many emotions thrown at them
in their respective plays. Othello is the victim
of a twisted villain; Hamlet bears a distinct
solitude and has a tendency to procrastinate.
Othello is a story centered on the manipulations
of an insecure newlywed, while Hamlet is centered
on an idealistic avenger of justice. Hamlet is
smarter, and with maybe the exception of his
confidante Horatio...

Othello And Desdemona Scene Iii

William Shakespeare's Othello is a tragic play
consisting of five acts. Although each act is not
of equal importance, each serves a distinct role

consequently, reducing the plays appeal to the
audience. Since Act I satisfies several essential
purposes, removing it would be a mistake.
Ultimately, we would no longer be seeing Othello
