  2. Summary of the scene • Iago is really ambiguous when he speaks to Othello and pretends to reassure him • Iago then leaves Othello to his thoughts • Othello praises Iago for being an honest man then reflects on his relationship with Desdemona • Othello tries to look for reasons as to why Desdemona would be unfaithful • He concludes Desdemona is lost to him and that he must hate her • Emila steals Desdemona’s handkerchief • Iago tells Othello that Desdemona and Cassio slept together (but he did not tell him it was Cassio’s dream) • Emilia gives Iago Desdemona’s handkerchief to win his approval

  3. Quotes • “you have a thing for me?” – interrogative • “To have a foolish wife” – view of women • “What handkerchief!” – exclamative pg.309 • “good wench” – wench makes women seem like objects pg 314 • Enjambment to illustrate the intensity of the conversation • Perhaps Iago is not his real self around Emilia • “poison” – repetition. Iago is trying to confuse them • “like the mines of sulphur” – simile. Harsh imagery. • “blood” – taint/impurity. Relates to what he is telling Othello Desdemona did. Iago is trying to persuade Othello to believe him through little things. • “sweet sleep” – Assonance hides his true intentions. • “Avaunt, be gone!” – exclamative. This illustrates Othello’s confidence. • “well” (repetition), “free” “merry” – Confidence • “not robbed at all” – Othello’s apparent confidence is possibly to hide the fact that he is breaking down internally. • 326-355 - Othello is saying goodbye to happiness • “pride”, “pomp” – plosive sounds
