Othello ending

Quote: Lodovico(To Iago) "O Spartan dog, More fell than anguish, hunger, or the sea! Look on the tragic loading of this bed. This is thy work. the object's poisons sight."

Significance

Even if he was jailed, I still see Iago as the the winner. His plan worked, after all. If it hadn't been for his bitch of a wife, the rest of Iago's life would have gone perfectly.....I hate that stupid cow. However, Iago does have some small thought to comfort him; Othello's death. Iago did say he hated Othello after all.

Really, I wish it had gone a lot better for Iago. I was hoping for a story in which the villain wins. And Iago is a great villain. Oh well.....

DING-DONG, THE MOOR IS DEAD!

IAGO RULES!!!

Othello 4.2-4.3

Quote: Othello "Heaven truly knows that thou art false as hell."

Significance:

I doubt Othello is using the phrase "____ as hell" in the way that it is used in modern time. He seems a bit ahead of the times to be doing that. So, he must literally think hell false. Or he could just be inserting mindless reasoning to make clever wordplay. This passage jumped out at me for some reason. It just seems out of place.

Othello 4.1

Quote: Othello "O devil, devil! If that the earth could teem with woman's tears, each drop she falls would prove a crocodile. Out of my sight!"

Othello sure has changed from the way he was earlier in the book. He's gone from being a just ruler to a distrustful tyrant who refuses to listen to reason. I wonder if what starts in private will find it's way into the public. Is Othello that petty that he'd unleash his aggression on the innocent? Probably. He did take out his fury on Iago earlier, and even if Iago wasn't truly innocent, Othello believed him to be the purest and most trustworthy person he knew.

Othello 3.4

Quote: Emilia"But jealous souls will not be answered so; They are not ever jealous for the cause, but jealousy for they're jealous. It is a monster begot upon itself, born on itself."

Significance:

It seems here that Emilia may be attempting to worry Desdemona in order to get her to slip up. One can only assume Iago is behind this. Also, there is wisdom in this passage, as jealousy is derived from itself. However, Emilia does not seem educated enough to speak such wisdom, so that only strengthens my belief that Iago put those words into her mouth.

Definitions:

toy: trifle

circumstanced: accept things the way they are.

Othello 3.3

Quote: Othello" Damn her, lewd minx! O, damn her! Damn her! Come, go with me apart. I will withdraw to furnish me with some swift means of death for the fair devil. Now art thou my lieutenant."

Significance:

Seems Iago's plan was a raging success. Everything worked out exactly the way he planned it to. I'm actually glad to see this happen, as I'm always a fan of the diabolical genius villains. Really, the way Iago pulled it off was like poetry in motion. I'm curious to see how long his good fortune will last.

Othello 2.3

Quote: Iago" Touch me not so near. I had rather have this tongue cut from my mouth than it should do offense to Michael Cassio"

Significance:

This quote shows Iago doing the standard villain plow of acting as though he never intended for anything bad to happen in order to gain the trust of the protagonist. And by Othello's reaction, it was clear that Iago was highly trusted, as most villains are. However, he has made the flaw of not covering his tracks. If Cassio is able to remember the reason he had been drinking in the first place, it could mean the end for Iago(But I hope he doesn't, because he plays the villain so well.)
