“Iago: Lie
Othello: With her?
Iago: With her, on her, what you will”
Othello: Lie with her? lie on her? We say “lie on her” when they belie her! Lie with her—that’s fulsome. Handkerchief—confessions—handkerchief! …
(falls in a trance)
Work on,
My medicine, work! Thus credulous fools are caught, And many worthy and chaste dames even thus, All guiltless, meet reproach
For I will make him tell the tale anew, Where, how, how oft, how long ago, and when He … cope your wife… Marry, patience, Or I shall say you …nothing of a man.

(falls in a trance)
My heart is turned to stone: I strike it and it hurts my hand
“Zounds”
Fire and brimstone!
Oh, devil, devil! If that the earth could teem with a woman’s tears,
Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile.
Act 4 Scene 2 (Othello)
Oh, thou weed,
Who art so lovely and fair and smell’st so sweet
That the sense aches at thee, would thou hadst ne’er been born!
that cunning whore of Venice /
that married with Othello

Why, what art thou?
Your wife, my lord
Your true and loyal wife
Prithee, tonight lay on my bed my wedding sheets.
Remember; and call thy husband hither
Desdemona: Heaven pardon him!
Emilia: A halter pardon him! And Hell gnaw his bones!
Goodnight, goodnight. Heaven me such uses send,
Not to pick bad from bad, but by bad mend
Willow song
Act 4 Scene 2 (Emilia)
If any wretch have put this in your head,
Let Heaven requite it with the serpent’s curse!
(If any jerk has tried to convince she’s bad. I hope God curses him)
O, fie upon thee, strumpet
Act 4 Scene 3 (Emilia)
The ills we do, their ills instruct us so.
They slack their duties and pour our treasures into foreign laps or else break out in peevish jealousies, throwing restraint upon us, or say they strike us
…
Why, we have galls, and though we have some grace,
Yet have we some revenge
Desdemona : Wouldst thou do such a deed for all the world?
Emilia: The world is a huge thing. It is a great price /For a small vice.

Act 4 Scene 1 Lodovico
Othello: Devil (strikes her)
Lodovico : Is this the noble Moor whom our full senate
Call all in all sufficient? Is this the nature
Whom passion could not shake?
Iago : He is much changed
