QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: Othello ACT/SCENE: 3.3 SPEAKER: Othello CONTEXT:
IAGO
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash. ’Tis something,
nothing;
’Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to
thousands.
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed
OTHELLO
By heaven, I’ll know thy thoughts.
IAGO
You cannot, if my heart were in your hand,
Nor shall not, whilst ’tis in my custody. DUTCH: k Moet weten wat gij denkt MORE: Immediate=Direct, without the intervention of another; needs no other considerations to enforce its importance
Trash=Worthless matter, dross, lumber (Also a scornful term to describe money; See J.Caesar 4.3)
Filch=To steal, pilfer
Compleat:
To filch=Ontfutzelen, afhandig maaken, ontloeren, ontsteelen
