Cards in this deck (5)
- 1MON: 'AND TIS A GREAT PITY THAT THE NOBLE MOOR SHOULD HAZARD SUCH A PLACE TO HIS OWN SECONDOthello needs to always maintain a defence barrier against his race - and he cant here as Cassio's actions are making him look bad.
- 2CASSIO: REPUTATION, I HAVE LOST THE IMMORTAL PART OF MYSELF AND WHAT REMAINS IS BESTIALAct 3 scene 1- cassio attempts to regain repuation using desdemona as advised by Iago = difficult. Othello needs to do this so Montano knows his military skills. like Gatsby lying about his identity. Gatsby/ othello raised by low status family - strive to raise social standings = hubris. If Othello could he would forgive Cassio but cant due to politics of society.
- 3DUKE: VALIANT OTHELLO WE MUST STRAIGHT EMPLOY YOUvaliant = bold and courageous - positive adjective
- 4HE THAT FILCHES ME MY GOOD NAME MAKES ME POOR INDEEDThis is the start of Othello's downfall and honour plays a large part of it. the idea that money is compared to honour makes honour seem of a much higher price than money - important to othello.
- 5OTHELLO: YOU MUST SPEAK OF ONE WHO LOVED NOT WISELY BUT TOO WELLFatal hamartia
