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.

About Me
- Nathaniel
- “Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”
