Othello
Othello has been called a domestic tragedy because it deals with the matter between husband and wife.

Yes Definitely!
Absolutely. Othello is possibly the most heart-rending of Shakespeare's tragedies, since a totally innocent woman ends up getting murdered by the man who loves her the most.
Certainly. It is a tragedy, as the characters we sympathize with end up dead. It is domestic, because the locus of the tragic events is the marriage between Othello and Desdemona.
