Othello

by William Shakespeare

IAGO Zounds, sir, you are one of those that will not serve God if the devil bid you.

BRABANTIO Thou art a villain. IAGO You are—a senator.

For nature so preposterously to err, Being not deficient, blind, or lame of sense, Sans witchcraft could not.

DESDEMONA My noble father, I do perceive here a divided duty: To you I am bound for life and education; My life and education both do learn me 200 How to respect you; you are the lord of duty,— I am hitherto your daughter: but here’s my husband; And so much duty as my mother show’d To you, preferring you before her father, So much I challenge that I may profess 205 Due to the Moor, my lord.

FIRST SENATOR Adieu, brave Moor; use Desdemona well. BRABANTIO 315 Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see: She has deceiv’d her father, and may thee.

RODERIGO What will I do, thinkest thou? IAGO Why, go to bed and sleep. RODERIGO I will incontinently drown myself. IAGO If thou dost, I shall never love thee after. Why, thou silly 330 gentleman!

anws I personally ship them now

RODERIGO It is silliness to live when to live is torment; and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.

IAGO O villainous! I have looked upon the world for four times seven years, and since I could distinguish betwixt a benefit 335 and an injury, I never found man that knew how to love himself. Ere I would say I would drown myself for the love of a Guinea-hen, I would change my humanity with a baboon.

Come, be a man: drown thyself! drown cats and blind 355 puppies.

ik its not supposed to be funny, but he really put his whole shussy into this

RODERIGO Where shall we meet i’ the morning? IAGO At my lodging. RODERIGO I’ll be with thee betimes.

MONTANO 145 Come, come, you’re drunk. CASSIO Drunk!

Even as her appetite shall play the god With his weak function.

I never knew A Florentine more kind and honest.

IAGO My lord, you know I love you.

IAGO For Michael Cassio, I dare be sworn I think that he is honest. OTHELLO I think so too.

IAGO Why, then, I think Cassio’s an honest man. OTHELLO

Utter my thoughts? Why, say they are vile and false;—

Robs me of that which not enriches him

IAGO Poor and content is rich, and rich enough;

"oh yeah porn is content rich" - apollo <3

exchange me for a goat

My lord, I see you’re mov’d. OTHELLO No, not much mov’d.

She’s gone; I am abus’d, and my relief Must be to loathe her.

I had rather be a toad,

me too

The Moor already changes with my poison:

OTHELLO Villain, be sure thou prove my love a whore;— 400 [Taking him by the throat.] Be sure of it. Give me the ocular proof;

IAGO My friend is dead; ’tis done at your request: But let her live.

CLOWN I dare not say he lies anywhere.

EMILIA ‘Tis not a year or two shows us a man: They are all but stomachs and we all but food:

IAGO What, To kiss in private? OTHELLO 5 An unauthoriz’d kiss.

IAGO Lie,— OTHELLO With her? IAGO With her, on her, what you will.

reminiscent of "to love, to honour, and if u cant come in her come on her"

LODOVICO Are his wits safe? is he not light of brain?

The fountain from the which my current runs, Or else dries up;

no wap?

I cry you mercy then: I took you for that cunning whore of Venice That married with Othello.—You,

I cannot say “whore,”— It does abhor me now I speak the word; 185 To do the act that might the addition earn Not the world’s mass of vanity could make me.

RODERIGO How do you mean “removing” of him? IAGO 245 Why, by making him uncapable of Othello’s place;—knocking out his brains.

Doth that bode weeping? EMILIA ’Tis neither here nor there.

And have not we affections, 105 Desires for sport, and frailty, as men have? Then let them use us well: else let them know The ills we do their ills instruct us so.

Now, whether he kill Cassio, Or Cassio him, or each do kill the other, Every way makes my gain:

Thy bed, lust-stain’d, shall with lust’s blood be spotted.

IAGO How is’t, brother? CASSIO My leg is cut in two.
