Iago's jealousy towards Cassio (Act 1 Scene 1)

A fellow most damned in wife

That never set a squadron in the field

Nor the devision of battle knows more than a spinster

unless the bookish theoric

Is all his soldiership, but he, sir, had the election

Iago on his loyalty to Othello (Act 1 Scene 1)

I follow him to do my turn upon him 

we cant all be masters, nor cannot all masters be truly followed

I am not what I am

2 of 19

Iago tries to provoke Brabantio (Act 1 Scene 1)

Even now, now, now very now, an old black ram 

Is tupping your white ewe

Or else the devil make a grandsire of you

you'll have your daughter covered with a barbary horse

you'll have your nephews neigh to you

You'll have your coursers for cousins and gennets for germans

your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs

Brabantio's reaction- racist (Act 1 Scene 1)

Oh, heaven, how got she out? Oh, treason of the blood?

Is there not charms

By which property of youth and maidhood

May be abused?

Iago lies of his defence (Act 1 Scene 2)

Though in the trade of war I have slain men, yet do I hold it very stuff o' the conscience

To do not contrived murder

And spoke with such scurvy and provoking terms 

Agianst your honor

Othello's initial self-confidence (Act 1 Scene 2)

I fetch my life and being 

From men of royal seige, and my demerits

...As this that I have reached

My parts, my life, and my perfect soul

Shall manifest me rightly

Brabantio accusing Othello-racism (Act 1 Scene 2)

O thou foul thief

Damned ad thou art. thoiu art hast enchanted her!

If she in chains of magic were bound

That thou hast practiced on her with foul charms 

Abused her delicate youth with drugs or minerals

Brabantio to the duke-racism (Act 1 Scene 3)

(In response to is she dead)

Ay, to me. 

...corrupted

by spells and medicines bought of mountebanks

For nature so preposterously to err, 

Being not deficient, blind, or lame of sense,

Sans witchcraft could not

And you of her, the bloody book of law...

And little blessed with the soft phrase of peace

Against all rules of nature, and must be driven

To find out practices of cunning hell

That with some mixtures powerful o'er the blood.

I do beseech you, 

Send for the lady to the Sagittary

And let her speak of me before her afther

My life upon her faith!

And I loved her that she did pity them

This only witchcraft I have used

And so much duty as my mother

Due to the Moor my lord

18 of 19

Iago plots soliloguy (Act 1 Scene 3)

Thus do I ever make my fool my purse

that 'twixt my sheets 

he's done my office

he (cassio) hath a person and a smooth dispose 

To be suspected, framed top make women false

The Moor is of free and open nature

That thinks ,em honest that seem to be so.

I have't. It is engendered! Hell and night

Must bring this monstrous birth tp the world's light
