(Cassio) I am very… | Ill at ease |
(Iago) Nothing, my lord… | Or if- I know not what |
(Iago, about Cassio) I cannot think it that he would… | Sneak away so guilty-like, seeing you coming |
(Desdemona, about Cassio) I prithee… | Call him back |
(Iago, about C + D) Ha! | I like not that |
(Desdemona, about Cassio) Or Tuesday morn, on Tuesday noon, or night… | On Wednesday morn. I prithee name this time, but let it not |
(Othello, about Desdemona) Perdition catch my soul… | But I do love thee! |
(Othello, about Desdemona) And when I love the not… | Chaos is come again |
(Iago) Did Michael Cassio, when you… | Wooed my lady, know of your love? |
(Iago) But for a satisfaction… | Of my thought- no further harm |
(Iago) Honest… | My lord? |
(Othello, about Iago) He echoes me, as if there were some… | Monster in his thought, too hideous to be shown |
(Othello) Why… | Why is this? |
(Othello, about Desdemona) For she had eyes and… | Chose me (…) I’ll see before I doubt |
(Iago) For now I shall have reason… | To show the love and duty that I bear you with franker spirit |
(Iago, about Desdemona) Look to your wife… | Observe her well with Cassio |
(Iago, about Venetian women) In Venice they do… | Let God see the pranks |
(Iago) She did deceive her… | Father, marrying you |
(Iago) But I am much to blame, I humbly do… | Beseech you of your pardon for too much loving you |
(Othello, to Iago) I am bound… | To thee for ever |
(Iago) Not to strain… | My speech to grosser issues |
(Iago, about Desdemona) Long live she so! | And long live you to think so! |
(Othello, about I + E) Set on thy… | Wife to observe |
(Othello, about Iago) This fellow’s of… | Exceeding honesty |
(Othello) Haply, for I am black… | And have not those soft parts of conversation that chambers have |
(Othello, about Desdemona) She’s… | Gone |
(Othello) O, curse of marriage! That we can call… | These delicate creatures ours and not their appetites! |
(Othello, about Desdemona) If she be false… | O, then heaven mocks itself! |
(Othello) I have a pain… | Upon my forehead here |
(Emilia) I am glad I… | Have found this napkin |
(Emilia, about Iago) I nothing but… | To please his fantasy |
(Iago) The Moor already… | Changes with my poison |
(Iago) Burn like… | The mines of sulphur |
(Othello) I swear ’tis better to be much abused… | Than but to know’t a little |
(Iago) I am sorry… | To hear this |
(Othello) I had been happy if the general camp… | Pioners and all, had tasted her sweet body |
(Othello) Farewell… | Farewell |
(Othello) Villain, be sure thou… | Prove my love a w**** |
(Othello) Death… | And damnation! |
(Iago) It is impossible… | You should see this |
(Iago) I lay with… | Cassio lately |
(Iago, about Cassio) In sleep I heard him say… | ‘Sweet Desdemona, let us be wary, let us hide our loves.’ |
(Othello) I’ll tear her… | All to pieces! |
(Othello) Now do I see… | ‘Tis true |
(Othello) Arise, black vengeance… | From thy hollow cell! |
(Iago) And to obey shall be in me… | Remorse, what bloody business ever |
(Othello) Let me hear thee say… | That Cassio’s not alive |
(Othello, about Desdemona) Damn her… | Lewd minx! |
(Iago) I am your… | Own for ever |
(Desdemona) But my noble Moor is true of mind… | And made of no such baseness as jealous creatures are |
(Desdemona, about Othello’s jealousy) I think the sun where he was born… | Drew all such humours from him |
(Othello, about the handkerchief) To lose or give’t away… | Were such perdition as nothing else could match |
(Desdemona, about the handkerchief) It is… | Not lost |
(Desdemona) Alas the day… | I never gave him cause |
(Desdemona) Heave keep that… | Monster from Othello’s mind |
(Bianca, to Cassio) I pray you… | Bring me on the way a little |
