| “Put out the light, and then put out the light.If I quench thee, thou flaming minister,I can again thy former light restore,Should I repent me; but once put out thy light,Thou cuning’st pattern of excelling nature,I know not where is that Promethean heatThat can thy light relume. When I have plucked thy rose,I cannot give it vital growth again;It must needs wither.” | othello talking to himself with desdemona on the bed. He is saying to blow out the candle then kill desdemona. he can re light the candle but he cannot bring back desdemona. |
| “Then must you speakOf one that loved not wisely but too well,Of one not easily jealous but, being wrought,Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand,Like the base Indian, threw a pearl awayRicher than all his tribe; of one whose subdued eyes,Albeit unused to the melting mood,Drop tears as fast as the Arabian treesTheir medicinable gum. Set you down this,And say besides that in Aleppo once,Where a malignant and a turbaned TurkBeat a Venetian and traduced the state,I took by th’ throat the circumcised dogAnd smote him thus.” | othello to lodovico when he is stabbing himself. He is saying that his love for Desdemona strongly influenced his actions in a bad way because he loved desdemona so much that he couldnt bear hear that she slept with cassio. Too much love for someone is dangerous. Desdemona is like a pearl because she was special but then Othello threw her away by killing her. |
| 3 people that should be killed | iago to roderigo. |
| mars | iago to roderigo. |
| “so sweet was never so fatal. i must weep. but they are cruel tears.” | othello to himself with desdemona. he still loves her |
| “o falsely, falsely murdered” | desdemona to herself when she was dying. She was not the one othello was supposed to be mad at. Doesnt deserve this. |
| “Nobody. I myself” | desdemona to emilia. she knew othello was set up and she still loves him so she is covering |
| “my husband?” | emilia to othello. While othello is talking about what Iago said, emilia is realizing that iago was lying before and how bad he really is. |
