Fichas del conjunto (10)
- 1"But that I love the gentle Desdemona, / I would not my unhoused free condition / Put into circumscription and confine / For the sea's worth"When Iago tells Othello that Brabantio will try to annul his marriage Othello stresses that he is worthy of Desdemona and has given up his 'free condition' to be with her
- 2'thou has enchanted her'Othello has used black magic to win Desdemona's heart
- 3"She loved me for the dangers I had pass'd, / And I loved her that she did pity them"Justifying his love for Desdemona - Genuine love
- 4"That I did love the Moor to live with him, / My downright violence and storm of fortunes / May trumpet to the world"'downright violence' violating the social norms by marrying Othello, she didn't ask her father to marry or arrange a marriage.
'storm of fortunes' independent - taken her future by storm as a warrior would take a castle by storm - 5'My heart's subdued Even to the very quality of my lord: I saw Othello's visage in his mind, And to his honour and his valiant parts Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate'Her hearts in harmony with Othello's (subdued) in every possibly 'quality'. She is very much like him and belongs with him always.
- 6"I saw Othello's visage in his mind"'Visage' referring to facial features and expressions implying that she rejects all the stereotypes and discrimination towards him and she understands that most people think he is ugly but still loves him for his honour and courage
- 7'our unbitted lusts, whereof I take this that you call love to be a sect or scion'Love is nothing but a fancy word for 'lust' merely a 'sect' or a 'scorn' of lust. Later reinforced through Iagos line "merely a lust of the blood and a permission of the will"
- 8"It gives me wonder great as my content / To see you here before me. O my soul's joy!"Othello declares that if such happiness can come after the storm he's go through a storm everyday and if he were to die now he would die happy as nothing could ever make him happier than this
- 9'But that our loves and comforts should increase, Even as our days do grow!'They'll never fall out of love for each other and if anything their love will only grow with time
- 10'I'll set down the pegs that make this music'The 'pegs' which Iago refers to are turning pegs on an instrument, the instrument being Desdemona and Othello's love which Iago is planning to loosen the pegs until the harmony is turned into a discord.
