Very nature will instruct her in it and compel her to some second choice

A

Iago to Roderigo

24
Q

who stands so eminent in the degree of this fortune as Cassio does

A

Iago to Roderigo

25
Q

Besides, the knave is handsome, young, and hath all those requisites in him that folly and green minds look after

A

Iago to Roderigo

26
Q

Blessed fig’s-end! The wine she drinks is made of grapes. If she had been blessed, she would never have loved the Moor.

A

IAgo to Roderigo

27
Q

Yes, that I did, but that was but courtesy

A

Roderigo to Iago

28
Q

I have brought you from Venice. Watch you tonight for the command, I’ll lay ’t upon you. Cassio knows you not. I’ll not be far from you

A

Iago to Roderigo

29
Q

he’s rash and very sudden in choler, and haply may strike at you

A

Iago to Roderigo

30
Q

I will do this, if you can bring it to any opportunity.

A

Roderigo to Iago

31
Q

That Cassio loves her, I do well believe ’t.

A

Iago to Roderigo

32
Q

The Moor, howbeit that I endure him not,
Is of a constant, loving, noble nature,
And I dare think he’ll prove to Desdemona
A most dear husband

A

Iago to Roderigo

33
Q 
Now, I do love her too,
Not out of absolute lust—though peradventure
I stand accountant for as great a sin—
But partly led to diet my revenge,
For that I do suspect the lusty Moor
Hath leaped into my seat.
A

Iago to Roderigo

34
Q

Or, failing so, yet that I put the Moor
At least into a jealousy so strong
That judgment cannot cure.

A

Iago to Roderigo

35
Q

Abuse him to the Moor in the right garb

A

Iago to Cassio

36
Q

Make the Moor thank me, love me, and reward me

For making him egregiously an ass

A

IAgo to Roderigo

37
Q

Let’s teach ourselves that honorable stop

A

Othello to Cassio

38
Q

Our general cast us thus early for the love

A

Iago to Cassio

39
Q

Come, lieutenant, I have a stoup of wine

A

Iago to Cassio

40
Q

I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking

A

Cassio Iago

41
Q

I am unfortunate in the infirmity, and dare not task my weakness with any more.

A

Cassio Iago

42
Q

You see this fellow that is gone before,
He is a soldier fit to stand by Caesar
And give direction. And do but see his vice,

A

Iago to Montano

43
Q

‘Tis pity of him.

I fear the trust Othello puts him in

A

Iago to Montano

44
Q

I do love Cassio well, and would do much

To cure him of this evil

A

Iago to Montano

45
Q

I bleed still,

I am hurt to the death. He dies!

A

Montano to Othello

46
Q

Honest Iago, that looks dead with grieving,

Speak, who began this?

A

Othello to Iago

47
Q

I had rather have this tongue cut from my mouth
Than it should do offence to Michael Cassio.
Yet I persuade myself to speak the truth
Shall nothing wrong him. This it is, general:

A

Iago to Othello

48
Q

I know, Iago,
Thy honesty and love doth mince this matter,
Making it light to Cassio. Cassio, I love thee
But never more be officer of mine.—

A

Othello to Iago

49
Q

Reputation, reputation, reputation! Oh, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. My reputation, Iago, my reputation!

A

Cassio to Iago

50
Q

Reputation is an idle and most false imposition, oft got without merit and lost without deserving.

A

Iago to Cassio

51
Q

Our general’s wife is now the general.

A

Iago to Cassio

52
Q

Confess yourself freely to her, importune her help to put you in your place again. She is of so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition, she holds it a vice in her goodness not to do more than she is requested.

A

Iago to Cassio

53
Q

How am I then a villian

A

IAgo to himself

54
Q

And she for him pleads strongly to the Moor,
265I’ll pour this pestilence into his ear:That she repeals him for her body’s lust.
And by how much she strives to do him good
She shall undo her credit with the Moor.

A

Iago to Himself

55
Q

so, with no money at all and a little more wit, return again to Venice.

A

Roderigo to Iago

56
Q

assio hath beaten thee.

And thou, by that small hurt, hath cashiered Cassio

A

Iago to Roderigo
