Act 2 Scene 3 Flashcards
(Othello trust in Cassio) Good Michael
Look you to the guard to-night: Let’s teach ourselves that honourable stop, not to outsport discretion
(Iago coarse idiolect)
She(Desdemona) is sport for Jove…I’ll warrant her full of game
(Cassio on Desdemona)
She is indeed perfection
(Cassio susceptibility to alcohol)
I have poor and unhappy brain’s for drinking
(Iago’s jovial manipulation)
What, man! tis’ a night of revels: the gallants desire it
(Iago scheming)
If I can fasten but one cup upon him
Now, ‘amongst this flock of drunkards, Am I to put our Cassio in some action
(Iago’s convivial temptation)
And let me the canakin clink, clink : and let me the canakin clink A soldier’s a man; a life’s but a span; why then, let a soldier drink. Some wine, boys
(Iago’s sporting rivalry) In England, where, indeed
they are most potent in potting: your Dane, your German and your swag bellied Hollander–Drink, ho!–are nothing to your English
(Cassio crapulence) not before me
the lieutenant is to be saved before the ancient
(Cassio crapulence) Let’s look to our business
do not think, gentlemen. I am drunk: this is my ancient; this is my right hand, and this is my left: I am not drunk now: I can stand well enough
‘Tis (heavy drinking)
evermore the prologue to his sleep
(Iago’s duplicity) Not I, for this fair island
I do love Cassio well: and would do much to cure him of this evil
(Cassio drunken rage)
Zounds, you rogue, you rascal… let me go, sir, or I’ll knock you o’er the mazzard
(Othello virtue) Ottomites?
For Christian shame, put by this barbarous brawl
(Iago duplicity)
Honest Iago, that looks dead with grieving
