EMILIA:Othello Act IV, scene iii’Tis neither here nor there.DESDEMONA: I have heard it said so. O, these men,these men!Dost thou in conscience think,—tell me, Emilia,—That there be women do abuse their husbandsIn such gross kind?EMILIA: In troth, I think I should; and undo’t when Ihad done. Marry, I would not do such a thing for ajoint-ring, nor for measures of lawn, nor for gowns,petticoats, nor caps, nor any petty exhibition; but forthe whole world,—why, who would not make her husbanda cuckold to make him a monarch? I should venturepurgatory for’t.EMILIA:There be some such, no question.DESDEMONA: Wouldst thou do such a deed for all theworld?EMILIA: Why, would not you?DESDEMONA: Beshrew me, if I would do such a wrongFor the whole world.EMILIA: Why the wrong is but a wrong i’ the world: andhaving the world for your labor, tis a wrong in yourown world, and you might quickly make it right.DESDEMONA:No, by this heavenly light!DESDEMONA: I do not think there is any such woman.EMILIA: Nor I neither by this heavenly light;I might do’t as well i’ the dark.DESDEMONA: Wouldst thou do such a deed for all theworld?EMILIA: The world’s a huge thing: it is a great price.For a small vice.DESDEMONA: In troth, I think thou wouldst not.82EMILIA: Yes, a dozen; and as many to the vantage aswould store the world they played for. But I do think itis their husbands’ faultsIf wives do fall: say that they slack their duties,And pour our treasures into foreign laps,Or else break out in peevish jealousies,Throwing restraint upon us; or say they strike us,Or scant our former having in despite;Why, we have galls, and though we have some grace,Yet have we some revenge. Let husbands know
Their wives have sense like them: they see and smellAnd have their palates both for sweet and sour,As husbands have. What is it that they doWhen they change us for others? Is it sport?I think it is: and doth affection breed it?I think it doth: is’t frailty that thus errs?It is so too: and have not we affections,Desires for sport, and frailty, as men have?Then let them use us well: else let them know,The ills we do, their ills instruct us so.DESDEMONA: Good night, good night: heaven me suchuses send,Not to pick bad from bad, but by bad mend!Othello Act V, scene iACT VSCENE I: Cyprus. A street.[Enter IAGO and RODERIGO.]IAGO: Here, stand behind this bulk; straight will he come:Wear thy good rapier bare, and put it home:Quick, quick; fear nothing; I’ll be at thy elbow:It makes us, or it mars us; think on that,And fix most firm thy resolution.RODERIGO: Be near at hand; I may miscarry in’t.[Exeunt.]IAGO: Here, at thy hand: be bold, and take thy stand.[Retires.]RODERIGO: I have no great devotion to the deed;And yet he hath given me satisfying reasons:’Tis but a man gone. Forth, my sword: he dies.IAGO: I have rubb’d this young quat almost to the sense,And he grows angry. Now, whether he kill Cassio,Or Cassio him, or each do kill the other,Every way makes my gain: live Roderigo,83
