Othello doesn't have to fight the Turks because the Turkish fleet is destroyed by a storm before they can reach Cyprus. This tempest, often referred to as a "sea change," effectively eliminates the threat posed by the Turks, allowing Othello and his forces to focus on internal conflicts and the challenges arising from Iago's deceit. Thus, the anticipated battle against the Turks never materializes, shifting the drama's focus to personal and relational struggles.
