Blog 20: Quote response Othello

IAGO

She did deceive her father, marrying you;
And when she seem'd to shake and fear your looks,
She loved them most.

OTHELLO
And so she did.

IAGO
Why, go to then;
She that, so young, could give out such a seeming,
To seal her father's eyes up close as oak-
He thought 'twas witchcraft--but I am much to blame;
I humbly do beseech you of your pardon
For too much loving you.

OTHELLO
I am bound to thee for ever.
(Shakepeare 961)

I chose this quote because it just shows even more how Iago messes with Othellos head. He points out that Desdemona easily deceived her father in marrying Othello. He says that he is to blame for Desdemonas father thinking Othello used witchcraft on her. And then Iago is so good at playing on Othellos emotions by telling him that it was because he loved too much. When Othello says I am bound to thee forever it shows how much Othello trusts Iago and how easily it will be for Iago to keep manipulating the situation as he does keep doing. Even though it is still hard for me to understand quite a bit of this play because of the way it is written, the lines that Shakepseare uses are so powereful. And it just goes to show we are human and no matter what century we live in we all are to trusting at times and are easily swayed by what others we hold in high regard might say to us.
