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.
