QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: Othello ACT/SCENE: 3.3 SPEAKER: Desdemona CONTEXT: OTHELLO
I shall not dine at home,
I meet the captains at the citadel.
DESDEMONA
Why, then, tomorrow night, or Tuesday morn.
On Tuesday noon, or night, or Wednesday morn.
I prithee name the time, but let it not
Exceed three days. In faith, he’s penitent,
And yet his trespass, in our common reason
(Save that, they say, the wars must make example
Out of her best) is not, almost, a fault
T’ incur a private check. When shall he come?
Tell me, Othello. I wonder in my soul
What you would ask me that I should deny
Or stand so mamm’ring on. What? Michael Cassio
That came a-wooing with you, and so many a time,
When I have spoke of you dispraisingly,
Hath ta’en your part, to have so much to do
To bring him in? Trust me, I could do much— DUTCH: Wat gij mij vragen kunt, dat ik zou weig’ren,
