In Othello, what nationality is referred to in the insulting epithet that Iago repeatedly applies to Othello?
Correct: A
Although Othello is a respected Venetian general, Iago and others repeatedly call him 'the Moor,' a term that in early modern England carried connotations of foreignness and racial otherness. The play explores how this label fuels Othello’s insecurity and Iago’s manipulation.
