Transcription
• Othello’s broken heart. So much pain here and he turns it to fury.
• again notice the ugliness of Othello’s language vs. the Christian imagery and language that Desdemona uses. Intense repetition of the antithesis of heaven v. hell – he even has a line that begins with the word Heaven and ends with the word Hell
• He has been poisoned, so it’s interesting he uses the image of the toad (they were thought to be poisonous).
• images of rot – terrible smells that offend heaven
• new word for whore – ‘callat’ – among others like strumpet etc…
