To eat us hungerly, and when they are full, / They belch us" (3.4.121-123). Emilia describes how men use women at different situations, " They are all but stomachs, and we all but food. How are they the same? How do they differ?Įmilia thinks that men are all the same and it takes a long time to see how bad they actually are. Specifically, look at lines 120-123 and lines 161-175. On the other hand, Othello falls into the imagination of Cassio being with Desdemona who Othello loves, and Othello pays too much attention on this so that he neglects Iago's evil actions.ģ: Compare Desdemona and Emilia’s views on men. Q: Has Othello ever been suspicious of Iago's intention and loyalty?Ī: I don't think Othello feels suspicious of Iago because, on one hand he can see that Iago is standing on his side, giving him advices, analyzing Othello's situation and assisting him to kill Cassio, whose relationship with Desdemona seems suspicious. " Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul." (3.3.100-103), it is foreshadowing because it foreshadows that the bad events will happen if Othello does not love Desdemona anymore. "Poor and content is rich, and rich enough." (3.3.202), it is paradox because Iago is trying to "comfort" Othello after he arouses Othello to be suspicious at Desdemona's unfaithfulness. ![]() Like to the Pontic Sea, Whose icy current." (3.3.514-517), it is a metaphor because Othello is saying that the rage and the violent thoughts are flowing like a river. "Her name, that was as fresh as dian's visage, is now begrimed and black." (3.3.441-445), it is a metaphor because Othello is saying that Desdemona's reputation was as white as snow. It is important to the development of the play because it signifies Iago's intentions and how he is planning to further bring Othello down. It is related to the theme of appearance vs reality. "I am your own forever." (3.3.546), it is extremely ironic because audiences already knew Iago's intentions and knew that Iago is playing on Othello. It is also ironic because even through he appears to be strongly self-controlled, and he is easily taken over by his emotions. ![]() Othello uses goat because it is a creature and it is lustful. " Exchange me for a goat / When I shall turn the business of my soul / To such exsufflicate and blowed surmises"(3.3.211-213), Othello uses animal imagery to describe how he will never allow his actions to be controlled by his emotions and lust. Othello says the chaos will come again which means that everything will soon return to a state of chaos. When Othello is talking to Desdemona about their love, he uses foreshadowing, "But I do love thee! And when I love thee not, / Chaos is come again." (3.3.101-102), it foreshadows Othello's downfall and his later killing of Desdemona with his hands. Othello is thinking that maybe he is too old and black, and Desdemona no longer loves him. Othello asks Iago to let Emilia watch Desdemona when Desdemona is with Cassio. Iago suggests Othello to observe Desdemona closely when she is with Cassio. ![]() As Othello is alone, Iago begins to make insinuations about the relationship between Desdemona and Cassio and tries to convince that Desdemona has been cheating on Othello. Othello says that he will deny Desdemina nothing but just leave him alone for a while. Othello assures her that he will speak to Cassio, but Desdemona criticizes Othello's for being too hesitant when Desdemona tries to set a meeting time. Desdemona implores Othello to forgive Cassio and reappoint him. ![]() Othello asks whether the one just left the room was Cassio or not, Iago says that Cassio will not behave like a guilty man. Cassio leaves, then Othello and Iago come in. Desdemona promised that she would try her best to help Cassio to get back his position.
