Example: "Thou told'st me thou didst hold him in thy hate."

Examples:

Rodrigo: Thou told'st me thou didst hold him in thy hate.

Brabantio: In honest plainness thou hast heard me say

ex: "Here is the man, this Moor, whom now, it seems, Your special mandate for the state-affairs, Hath hither brought"

ex: "Ere I would say, I would drown myself for the love of a guinea-hen" (Iago in Act 1)

Example: "That, doting on his own obsequious bondage, wears out his time, much like his master's ass, for nought but provender, and when he's old, cashier'd:
Whip me such honest knaves."

Example: "Parted our fellowship--But, hark! a sail."

Example: Iago tells Roderigo, "Sir, he is rash and very sudden in choler, and haply may strike at you: provoke him, that he may; for even out of that will I cause these of Cyprus to mutiny."

Example) "Now will I question Cassio of Bianca, a housewife that by selling her desires buys herself bread and clothes: it is a creature that dotes on Cassio; as 'tis the strumpet's plague
To beguile many and be beguiled by one:
He, when he hears of her, cannot refrain
From the excess of laughter. Here he comes:" (Act 4, Scene 1) - He refers to Cassio as having the strumpet's plague, which refers to Bianca as the strumpet.

When Brabantio discovers that Desdemona has eloped with Othello, he exclaims:

"Fathers, from hence trust not your daughters' minds
By what you see them act. Is there not charms
By which the property of youth and maidhood
May be abused?" (1.1.192-195)

Example: "And swell his sail with thine own powerful breath,
That he may bless this bay with his tall ship"

"Lie with her! lie on her! We say lie on her, when they belie her. Lie with her! that's fulsome. --Handkerchief--confessions--handkerchief!--To confess, and be hanged for his labour;--first, to be
hanged, and then to confess.--I tremble at it. Nature would not invest herself in such shadowing passion without some instruction." Othello about Desdemona, Act 4 scene 1.

Othello is calling Desdemona fulsome in her desires- she is cheating on him with Cassio; therefore, she is being insincere and excessive in her wants and lusts.

Iago:

"If thou dost, I shall never love thee after. Why, thou silly gentleman!"

Example - "Hath she forsook so many noble matches, Her father and her country and her friends, To be call'd whore? Would it not make one weep?"

Examples: "Beat a Venetian and traduced the state, / I took by the throat the circumcised dog, / And smote him, thus." (5.2.415-417)

Here, Othello says he "traduced the state," meaning he slandered the state.

(There is only one example of "traduced" in Othello, and it's from a scene we haven't read yet, unfortunately.)

Example: "Thou art a villain." -Brabantio

EXAMPLE: Iago ironically says "I lack iniquity \ sometimes to do me service" while actively plotting the demise of others around him, showing his wicked and cunning nature.

Example from Othello: "Dost thou prate, rogue?"

When Cassio and Roderigo are drunk, Roderigo is foolishly babbling to Cassio in a provocative manner and causing them to get in a fight.

ex: "O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial," (2.3).

Example:

"Even to the very quality of my lord:

I saw Othello's visage in his mind,

And to his honour and his valiant parts

Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate"

Example from Text: My thrice-driven bed of down: I do agnise A Natural and prompt alacrity I find in hardness, and do undertake these present wards against the Ottomites.

Act I Scene III

Explanation: In Act I, Othello defends his marriage to the court. Desdemona's father, a senator, disapproves of their marriage because of Othello's dark skin. Even though Othello is considered a moor, he is still a respected militant leader and defends their marriage. He says he possesses alacrity. He believes he is always ready and eager to defend the town and this alacrity to lead has owned him the right to his wife, Desdemona.

Example:

Othello: Hot, hot, and moist: this hand of yours requires
A sequester from liberty, fasting and prayer,
Much castigation, exercise devout;
For here's a young and sweating devil here

Iago:

"It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on; that cuckold lives in bliss"

ex: "O Cassio, whence came this?" (Bianca in Act 3)

Ex. "When the blood is made dull with the act of sport, there should be, again to inflame it and to give satiety a fresh appetite, loveliness in favor, sympathy in years, manners and beauties."

Example:

"I have charged thee not to haunt about my doors"

"My daughter is not for thee; and now, in madness,"

Ex.

Othello does not want to be known as a cuckhold and would rather kill his wife and the supposed man she is cheating with than confront the situation. "I will chop her into messes: cuckold me!"

Example: "Besides, the knave is handsome, young, and hath all those requisites in him that folly and green minds look after: a pestilent complete knave; and the woman hath found him already. -Iago

Quote: "The Moor already changes with my poison." (3.3.373)

• Here, Iago refers to Othello as the Moor.

Example from Othello: "But he; as loving his own pride and purposes, Evades them, with a bombast circumstance Horribly stuff'd with epithets of war;" (Shakespeare. Act 1. Scene 1. Lines 13-15)

Explanation: Iago is speaking to Roderigo in the beginning of the play and they are discussing Iago's reasons for hating for Othello. Iago says that Othello dismissed his requests to be promoted with "bombast circumstance," essentially saying that Othello said no in a long-winded, pompous way.
