In following him I follow but myself: Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty, But seeming so for my peculiar end.
For when my outward action doth demonstrate
The native act and figure of my heart
In compliment extern, 'tis not long after But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to peck at. I am not what I am." - 2What words do Desdemona speak to her father before the Venetian Senate? [hint; her first words of the play] "My noble father..." (Act 1, Scene 3, 179-188)"... I do perceive here a divided duty.
To you I am bound for life and education. My life and education both do learn me How to respect you. You are the lord of my duty,
I am hitherto your daughter. But here is my husband,
And so much duty as my mother showed
To you, preferring you before her father,
So much I challenge that I may profess
Due to the Moor my lord" - 3Othello's speech to the senate "Haply for I am black..." (Act 1, Scene 3, 267-279)"...And have not those soft parts of conversation
That chamberers have; or for I am declined Into the vale of years - yet that's not much - She's gone. I am abused, and my relief
Must be to loathe her. O curse of marriage, That we can call these delicate creatures ours
And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad
And live upon the vapor of a dungeon
Than keep a corner in the thing I love
For others' uses. Yet 'tis the plague of great ones;
Prerogatived are they less than the base. 'Tis destiny unshunnable, like death." - 4Emilia's speech that announces the 'hankerchief plot'. "I am glad that I have found this napkin..." (Act 3, Scene 3, 249-303)"...This was her first remembrance from the Moor,
My wayward husband hath a hundred times Wooed me to steal it, but she so loves the token -
For he conjured her she should ever keep it-
That she reserves it evermore about her
To kiss and talk to. I’ll ha’ the work ta’en out,
And give’t Iago. What he will do with it, Heaven knows, not I.
I nothing, but to please his fantasy." - 5What are Othello's final words before killing himself? "Then must you speak..." (Act 5, Scene 2, 341-354)"...Of one that loved not wisely but too well,
Of one not easily jealous but, being wrought,
Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand,
Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe; of one whose subdued eyes,
Albeit unused to the melting mood,
Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees
Their medicinable gum. Set you down this,
And say besides that in Aleppo once,
Where a malignant and a turbaned Turk
Beat a Venetian and traduced the state,
I took by th’ throat the circumcised dog
And smote him thus."
