Abstract

Othello is marked to be a typical Shakespearean tragedy, with the focus on the tragic hero Othello, arousing the emotions of pity and fear. Though the main source for Grahan is Shakespeare’s Othello, but the method of giving treatment has changed. Othello on one hand is a true Elizabethan tragic hero, follows all the rules and terms whereas Usman has some contrasts. Othello has been shown married to Desdemona in the very opening of the play, and Usman is yet to marry Mona in Grahan. Othello is a valiant and brave General of the Venetian fleet and Usman is the political leader of youth. Both the protagonists are facing racial issues, caste conflicts and also considerable age gap from their ladylove. Grahan in this sense becomes a very apt adaptation of Othello.
