“What did thy song bode, lady?
Hark, canst thou hear me? I will play the swan.
And die in music” (5.2.261-263)

Analysis:
In this part of the play, Emilia has exposed Iago for all of his lies. Emilia reveals the truth by saying she had given Desdemona’s handkerchief to Iago and that Desdemona has always been loyal and loving to Othello even in her dying words. This relates to the resolution because now Iago’s lies have been revealed, Othello is also regretting killing Desdemona. Soon after, the main characters -Desdemona, Roderigo, Othello, Emilia, and Iago- die, and the story comes to an end, all due to a person's jealousy.

Quote:
“But jealous souls will not be answered so.
They are not ever jealous for the cause,
But jealous for they’re jealous. It is a monster
Begot upon itself, born on itself.” (3.4.147-150)

Analysis:
This part of the play is when Emilia is trying to give advice to Desdemona after witnessing unnatural behavior from Othello. Emilia mentions that jealousy does not come from words or actions, but rather it comes from thoughts and jealousy itself. She also says jealousy is a monster born from itself and feeds on itself to grow.This relates to the theme of this play because Othello and Iago's jealousy feeds upon itself and makes them think unclearly and clouds their judgement.

“I hate the Moor. My cause is hearted. Thine hath no less reason. Let us be conjunctive in our revenge against him. If thou canst cuckold him, thou dost thyself a pleasure, me a sport” (1.3.311)

Analysis:
Here, Iago shows signs of jealousy when he mentions that he hates Othello because of his high position, and because his wife cheated on him with Othello, and he will let his hate become the motivation for his revenge.

Quote:
“Thy bed, lust-stained, shall with lust’s blood be spotted.” (5.1.37)

Analysis:
In this passage, Othello is saying he will kill Desdemona in the sheets in which they fell in love in. Othello’s state of mind is that the only way he can get payback and be satisfied is if Desdemona dies along with Cassio. Othello shows that he is very impulsive. He shows this by divulging that he wants to kill his wife and his lieutenant for supposedly cheating, instead of talking it out and clearing the misunderstanding.

“I marry her! What? A customer? Prithee bear some charity to my wit. Do not think it so unwholesome. Ha, ha, ha!” (4.1.109)

Analysis:
In this passage, Othello is overhearing Cassio talk to Iago about Bianca. However, there is a misunderstanding where Othello believes they are talking about Desdemona. This is another change in Othello’s mindset because he now believes fully that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio and he feels that Cassio has ‘won’. Othello has so much hate for Cassio and Desdemona that he plans on killing them. Othello shows that he is gullible and easily influenced because he listened to the conversation with the thought that they were talking about his wife, despite not hearing her name being brought up.

Quote:
“Think’st thou I’d make a life of jealousy,
To follow still the changes of the moon
With fresh suspicions? No! To be once in doubt
Is to be resolved.” (3.3.182-185)

Analysis:
In this part of the text, Iago is trying to place thoughts of disloyalty in Othello’s mind to make him second guess and doubt his wife. Othello’s state of mind at this point of the play is that he is slowly feeding into Iago’s deceptions, however, he refuses to believe his wife is cheating, without any proof. Here, Othello starts to believe in Iago’s lies and it can hint that he possibly doesn’t believe Desdemona would love somebody like him, which could mean Othello has insecurities. These insecurities made it easier for Othello to believe that Desdemona is having an affair, which makes them a weakness.

'Tis evermore the prologue to his sleep.
He’ll watch the horologe a double set
If drink rock not his cradle (2.3.90-93)

Analysis:
Iago uses tactics such as lying and manipulation to fulfill this part of his plan. In this part of the play, Iago has gotten Cassio drunk, knowing he doesn't handle alcohol well, he also lies to Montano saying that Cassio gets drunk every night. He does this to make Montano wonder why Othello would choose him as lieutenant, and to make Othello strip him of his title. Despite knowing all he is doing and it's effects, he still continues with this plan and it shows that he is  being selfish yet smart.

“She’s gone, I am abused, and my relief
Must be to loathe her. Oh, curse of marriage”
(3.3.272-273)

Analysis:
In this passage, Othello is alone contemplating ever getting married and wondering why Desdemona is having an affair. This passage relates to the climax as Othello claims that if his wife has an affair, he will have no choice but to hate her. However, Othello said he will only fully believe it if he has proof of an affair. Othello already partially believes that Desdemona is being unfaithful to him, due to how Desdemona keeps requesting that Cassio get his title back. Othello’s whole mindset will completely turn around, without Desdemona even knowing why, due to the lies and manipulation of Iago.

Analysis:
In this part of the text, Iago is giving Cassio ‘advice’ on how to recover his reputation after Othello removed his title as lieutenant.

However, according to Iago’s plan, Othello might think that Desdemona is disloyal to him with Cassio due to their time spent together.
