Othello Quotations
A maiden never bold, of spirit so still and quiet that he motion blushed at herself. Brabantio
She loved me for the dangers I had passed and I loved her that she did not pity them. Othello
She deceived her father Brabantio
And in th’essential vesture of creation Cassio
The divine Desdemona Cassio
She was never foolish that was fair Iago
She first loved the Moor, but for bragging and telling her fantastical lies Iago
She is full of the most blest condition Rodrigo
She is indeed perfection Cassio
Our general’s wife is now the general... for he hath devoted and given up himself to... her parts and graces Iago
She is so free so kind, so apt, so blest a disposition Iago
If I have any grace or power

    Lady Macbeth Quotes

    Lady Macbeth is married to Macbeth the main character in this play, making her one of the key characters in this play. Lady Macbeth is a woman who lusts for power, authority and control through her husband. She persuades Macbeth into killing Duncan so that he can become king after the incident. She characterizes one of the ongoing thematic elements of guilt throughout the play and this finally leads to her death in the end. The quote "a little water clears us of this deed" is a simple statement made by Lady Macbeth which becomes ironic as the play progresses because the metaphorical "clear water" of truth which she speaks of is never used by either her or Macbeth.…

    “What had he done to make him fly the land?" [repeats, louder with cracked voice] “What had he done to make him fly the land?" (page no.) And what did I do to make him flee this land? [shaking head, is emotional] Fearful of Scotland’s happening and future. Oh, Scotland. Your monarchy so heinous, so damned, so feared that your men are fleeting images of the past. Gone with the wind that was a torrent of darkness among the blustery trees. Gone without a thought of kinship; to family nor duty. I should have known a man so full of human nature would chase the scorpions of suspicion in his mind that sting him to the point of no return. It can’t be. Macduff, this noble passion/ Child of integrity, hath from my soul. (Page 76, 114-115) [Shaking head]…

    I heard the murmur of their voices as I crossed the hall; the newly wedded couple had just sat down for dinner together, they had arrived only an hour ago. I entered the room to see Rebecca, her dark ash-brown hair, flowing like silk as it trailed down behind her dainty, gentle shoulders. I just couldn’t help to think, what kind of woman she was. I set down the plates, not speaking a word to either Sir or the new Madam; I was not in a position to talk to either of them, as that was not my responsibility. Madame, was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She seemed so comfortable being herself. She was so lovely, so accomplished, so amusing. This was my first meeting with her, and already I was in awe of her. She had the perfect breeding to be Sir’s wife, she was incredibly beautiful and as time went I on, I realised she had the brains and confidence to outwit anyone. She was entirely different to the second Mrs De Winter.…

    One of the reasons this excerpt from Shakespeare’s “Othello” stands above the rest is that within these lines, Shakespeare inadvertently, or perhaps not, draws the blueprint for the great archetypal schemers that can still be found in all forms of media and art today. The antagonists monologue declaring what they will do has even reached the point of cliche as evidenced in Disney’s The Incredibles, when Frozone jokes, “He starts monologuing! He starts like, this prepared speech about how *feeble* I am compared to him, how *inevitable* my defeat is, how *the world* *will soon* *be his*, yadda yadda yadda.” (imdb.com)…

    Lady Macbeth Quotes

    In the beginning of, Macbeth, the Macbeths cared for each other. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth both were secure with their relationship and each other. They also trusted one another very much. “Great Glamis, worthy Cawdor! Greater than both by the all-hail hereafter! This ignorant present, and I feel now the future is the instant” (Lady Macbeth Act 1, Scene 5, Line 53-58). This quote is showing how excited Lady Macbeth was to see her husband and if she only cared for herself she would not be excited to see him. Towards the end of the play their caring for each other starts to unravel and crumble but any relationship put under the pressure of murder and scandal will start to fall apart and become more distant than it was before.…

    Illusion versus reality is an easily recognised theme in the play Othello, written by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare effectively combines illusion with reality in the play, Othello. The illusion easily distorts the reality of the characters and their thoughts and actions. These illusions are evident in the main characters of Iago, Michael Cassio and Othello. This review will discuss the illusion versus reality that is seen in the play. Illusion being judgements of an individual from what is seen from the outside, and reality being the truth and what is on the inside. This review will also discuss the various ways in which the theme of reality versus illusion are evident and how the value of the play Othello, is tied to its concern with the theme culminating in the events of Act 5, Scene 2 (Part 1).…
