WOMEN IN OTHELLO QUOTES

Desdemona, Emilia, and Bianca Key Quotes

My noble father,

I do perceive here a divided duty:

sing willow,

willow, willow

- tell me, Emilia -

That there be women do abuse their husbands In such gross kind?

Heaven doth

truly know it.

Alas what ignorant sin

have I committed?

No, as I

am a Christian.

O, heaven

forgive us!

I cannot say ‘whore’:

It does abhor me now i speak the word;

Cousin, there’s fallen between him

and my lord an unkind breach

I will not stay

too offend you

I say it is

not lost.

My lord is

not my lord;

Heaven keep that monster

from Othello’s mind

Arraigning his unkindness with my soul;

good

Cassio

His bed shall seem a school,

his board a shrift

O falsely, falsely

murdered

A guiltless death

I die

Commend me

to my kind lord. O farewell!

O Lord

lord, lord

I understand the fury in your word

but not your words

Prithee, shroud me in one of

those sheets

Who is’t that cried?

This is some Minx’s token, and I must take out the work?

There, give it your hobby-horse,

but that you do not love me.

I pray you, bring me on the way a little'

let the devil and his dam haunt you!

What did you mean by that same handkerchief you gave me even now?'

You shall not

write my praise

You’ve little cause

to say so

But I do think it is their husband’s faults

If wives do fall.

with the serpent’s curse!

There’s no man happy,

They are all but stomachs,

and we all but food;

ay, ay; O lay

me by my mistress’ side
