What didst not like?Īnd when I told thee he was of my counsel I heard thee say even now, thou lik’st not that, 125 “Think, my lord?” By heaven, thou echo’st meĪs if there were some monster in thy thought Iago doesn't give him an answer right away. Iago keeps dropping uncomfortable hints, and Othello asks him what he's getting at. Iago asks fake-casual questions about Cassio, whom Othello says was often a go-between when he courted Desdemona. Indeed? Ay, indeed! Discern’st thou aught in that? I did not think he had been acquainted with her. When you wooed my lady, know of your love? When she goes, Othello says something like, "What a gal! Boy do I love her. I’ll come to thee straight.Įmilia, come.-Be as your fancies teach you.ĭesdemona says of course and makes a show of leaving right away to prove how quickly she's willing to comply with his requests.Įxcellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul 100īut I do love thee! And when I love thee not, Now will you do me a favor? Give a moment alone."įarewell, my Desdemona. Othello says, "Look, I said I'll talk to him. It would be nice if he would appreciate her advice instead of acting like it's a hassle. It's not like she's nagging him about wearing gloves when it's cold or eating his vegetables. Whereon, I do beseech thee, grant me this,ĭesdemona gets a little bent out of shape.
#Othello act 3 scene 3 full
It shall be full of poise and difficult weight, Wherein I mean to touch your love indeed, 90 Or feed on nourishing dishes, or keep you warm, ’Tis as I should entreat you wear your gloves, Othello won't deny Desdemona anything, either

Othello says Cassio can come whenever he wants. Let him come when he will ĭesdemona says will you talk to him soon? Will you talk to him tomorrow? Or maybe Tuesday morning, or Tuesday night, or Wednesday morning, or how about Wednesday night? When Othello keeps putting her off, Desdemona claims she would never deny him anything, so why won't he listen to her? Besides, she has his best interests in mind. To bring him in! By ’r Lady, I could do much. Hath ta’en your part-to have so much to do When I have spoke of you dispraisingly, 80 That came a-wooing with you, and so many a time, Or stand so mamm’ring on? What? Michael Cassio, What you would ask me that I should deny, Save that, they say, the wars must make example In faith, he’s penitent Īnd yet his trespass, in our common reason. I prithee name the time, but let it not 70Įxceed three days. On Tuesday noon or night on Wednesday morn. Why then tomorrow night, or Tuesday morn, Othello doesn't want to do it right now, but says maybe later. She claims that Cassio is really sorry, and suggests Othello call Cassio back to plead his case. 60ĭesdemona jumps right into sweet-talking Othello and campaigning for Cassio.

That he hath left part of his grief with me That errs in ignorance and not in cunning, If I have any grace or power to move you, 50įor if he be not one that truly loves you, And once again, he makes it sound like he's reluctant to talk this way about Cassio.Ī man that languishes in your displeasure. Thus, Iago begins his make-Othello-jealous campaign by commenting on how weird it is that Cassio hurried off so quickly, like a thief stealing away in the night. Desdemona tells him to stay, but Cassio feels too weird and hurries out. Seeing Othello coming, Cassio decides it's time to leave. Was not that Cassio parted from my wife? 40Ĭassio, my lord? No, sure, I cannot think it She even says she'd rather die than give up on fixing this situation.ĭESDEMONA Well, do your discretion. She knows that Cassio is a good friend and faithful servant to Othello, and she knows how important they are to each other. Therefore be merry, Cassio,Ĭassio declares he's forever indebted to her, and Desdemona again emphasizes that she'll do everything she can. His bed shall seem a school, his board a shrift I’ll watch him tame and talk him out of patience 25 If I do vow a friendship, I’ll perform it My general will forget my love and service. That, I being absent and my place supplied, Or feed upon such nice and waterish diet, He shall in strangeness stand no farther off You have known him long and be you well assured He’s never anything but your true servant. This makes Emilia happy, because she knows her husband, poor Iago, is torn up about the whole situation. O, that’s an honest fellow! Do not doubt, Cassio, 5Ĭassio has explained the whole situation to Desdemona, and she promises to not rest until she's convinced Othello to reinstate Cassio as his lieutenant and renew their friendship.
