Othello, the Beast With Two Backs.

Othello the moor ( person of the black skin) is the husband of Desdemona (and also her killer) and is the main character of the play "Othello", obviously.  The reason for this is that Othello thought that Desdemona was cheating on him with Cassio, the Lieutenant.  This was Iago's plan so that he could get his "rightful" job.
In the end Othello kills Desdemona with a pillow.  He impressed his wife Desdemona by telling her about his adventures in life.  And (SPOILER ALERT) he kills himself when he finds out he killed the faithful Desdemona.

That video is from an actual performance of Othello.

And I know this has been used before and you should probably take points off for it but.
