"Death and damnation! Oh!"
(Othello, III. iii. 398)
Wow. He's pretty worked up. I suppose I would be too if my bff decided to be a liar and make me think my spouse was sleeping around. That being said, I think Othello is pretty quick to jump the gun. Let's look at the facts:
Desdemona compliments Cassio (I complemented my aunts sweet potatoes once; love may be blind, but it can still taste.)
Cassio got drunk. (So what if he went a little nuts with some alcohol! He wears tights on a daily basis, what do you expect?)
Iago is your best friend. (You must be a real sucker for foney flattery.)
Desdemona drops her snot-covered Kleenex. (really, Othello? That's sick.)
Clearly, Othello's mentally unstable. I'm glad I'm not married to him! God forbid I converse with someone not on my imediate family tree!
Oh, Moors these days!
remember that two of your entries should directly respond to questions from p. 1119 of your lit book.
