Othello has returned triumphant from the wars, now to govern the 27 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,240 island with his wife, Desdemona. The ensign, the Argo, jealous of the position held by 28 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:31,720 Cassio, lieutenant to Othello, plots revenge on both Cassio and the Moor, whom he hates. 29 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,840 Two things are to be done. My wife Amelia must move for Cassio to her mistress, Desdemona. 30 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,120 I'll set her on, myself the while to draw the Moor apart, and bring him jump when he 31 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:58,560 may Cassio find soliciting his wife. Ah, that's the way. Dull not devise by coldness and delay. 32 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,080 In happy time, Argo. You have not been a-bed then, Cassio? Why, no, the day had broke before 33 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,520 we parted. I've made boldly, Argo, to send into your wife. My suit to her is that she 34 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,240 will to virtuous Desdemona procure me some access. And I'll devise a mean to draw the 35 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,840 Moor out of the way, that your converse and business may be more free. I humbly thank 36 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,160 you for it. I never knew a Florentine more kind and honest. 37 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:31,560 Good morrow, good lieutenant. I'm sorry for your displeasure, but all will sure be well. 38 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:38,160 I will bestow you where you shall have time to speak your bosom freely. I am much bound 39 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:57,560 to you. Be assured, good Cassio, I will do all my abilities in your behalf. Bounteous 40 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,480 madam, whatever shall become of Michael Cassio is never anything but your true servant. 41 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:08,800 Oh, sir, I thank you. Before Amelia here, I give you warrant of your place. Be assured, 42 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,920 if I do vow of friendship, I'll perform it to the last article. My lord shall never rest. 43 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,920 I'll intermingle everything he does with Cassio's suit. Therefore be merry, Cassio, for I should 44 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,560 rather die than give your cause away. Madam, here comes my lord. 45 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,640 Madam, I'll take my leave. Why stay and hear me speak? Madam, not now. I'm very ill at 46 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:44,680 ease, unfit for my own purpose. I'll do your discretion. 47 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,840 I like not that. What do you say? 48 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:55,240 Nothing, my lord, or if I know not what. Was not that Cassio parted from my wife? 49 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,880 Cassio, my lord? No, sure, I cannot think it that he would sneak away so guilty like 50 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,840 seeing you coming. I do believe to see. 51 00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:07,960 How now, my lord? I have been talking with a suitor here, a man that languishes in your 52 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,560 displeasure. Who is it you mean? 53 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,360 Why, your lieutenant Cassio. Good, my lord, if I have any grace or power to move you, 54 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,640 I pray you call him back. Went he hence now? 55 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:24,120 Yes, faith so humble that he has left part of his griefs with me, I suffer with him. Good 56 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,320 love, call him back. Not now, sweet Desdemona, some other time. 57 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,400 But shall be shortly. The sooner, sweet, for you. 58 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,280 Shall be tonight for supper. No, not tonight. 59 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:34,240 Tomorrow dinner, then. I shall not dine at home. I meet the captains 60 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,040 at the citadel. Why then, tomorrow night, or Tuesday morning, 61 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,240 on Tuesday morning, or night, or Wednesday morning, name the time, but let it not exceed 62 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,640 three days. In faith he is penitent. When shall he come? Tell me, Othello. 63 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,080 No more, let him come when he will. I will deny you nothing. Whereon I do beseech you 64 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,280 grant me this to leave me but a little to myself. Shall I deny you? 65 00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:56,560 No. Farewell, my lord. 66 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,480 Farewell, my Desdemona. I'll come to thee straight. 67 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:07,280 Amelia, come. Perdition, catch my soul, but I do love thee. 68 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:13,640 And when I love thee not, chaos is come again. My noble lord. 69 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,880 What do you say, Iago? Did Michael Cassio, when you wooed my lady, 70 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,200 know of your love? He did from first to last. Why do you ask? 71 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,120 But for a satisfaction of my thoughts, no further harm. 72 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Why of your thought, Iago? I did not think he had been acquainted with 73 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,000 her. Oh, yes, and went between us very often. 74 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,440 Indeed. Indeed, I indeed. Do you discern aught in that? 75 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,000 Is he not honest? Honest, my lord? 76 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,320 Honest, I honest. My lord, for aught I know. 77 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,560 What do you think? Think, my lord? 78 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,880 Think, my lord. Why, heaven, he echoes me. As if there was some monster in his thought 79 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,800 too hideous to be shown. You meant something, I heard you say, but 80 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,820 now you liked not that when Cassio left my wife. 81 00:06:58,820 --> 00:07:02,920 What did you not like? If you do love me, show me thy thought. 82 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,240 My lord, you know I love you. I think you do. 83 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,080 And for I know you are full of love and honesty, and weigh your words before you give him breath. 84 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,240 Therefore these stops of yours frighten me the more. 85 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,520 For Michael Cassio, I dare be sworn I think that he is honest. 86 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,320 I think so too. Men should be what they seem. 87 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,520 Certain men should be what they seem. Why, then I think Cassio is an honest man. 88 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,520 Nay, yet there is more in this. I prithee speak to me as to thy thinking. 89 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,880 Good, my lord, pardon me. Though I am bound to every act of duty, I am not bound to that 90 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:36,640 all slaves are free to. Utter my thoughts. Why, say they are vile and false. 91 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,840 You conspire against your friend, Iago, if you but think him wronged, and make his ear 92 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,280 a stranger to your thoughts. It were not for your quiet nor your good, nor 93 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,520 for my manhood, honesty, or wisdom to let you know my thoughts. 94 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,600 By heaven, I'll know your thought. Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy. 95 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,120 It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock that meat it feeds on. 96 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,640 Why, why is this? Do you think I'd make a life of jealousy? 97 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,480 No, Iago, I see before I doubt. When I doubt, prove, and on the proof, there 98 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,120 is no more but this, away at once with love or jealousy. 99 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,800 I am glad of it. For now I shall have reason to show the love 100 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:18,080 and duty that I bear you with franker spirit. Therefore, as I am bound, receive it from 101 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,800 me. Look to your wife. 102 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,240 Serve her well with Casio. Wear your eye thus, not jealous nor secure. 103 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,080 I would not have your free and noble nature out of self-bounty be abused. 104 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,640 Look to it. Do you say so? 105 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,080 She did deceive her father, marrying you, and when she seemed to shake and fear your 106 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,160 looks, she loved them most. And so she did. 107 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,880 I see this hath a little dashed your spirits. Not a jot, not a jot. 108 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,560 My faith, I fear it has. I hope you will consider what is spoke comes from my love. 109 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:56,160 But I do see your mood. I pray you not to strain my speech to grosser 110 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,920 issues, nor to larger reach than to suspicion. I will not. 111 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,960 Should you do so, my lord, my speech should fall into such vile success as my thoughts 112 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,280 aim not at. Casio is my worthy friend. 113 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:15,600 My lord, I see you are moved. No, not much moved. 114 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:21,320 I do not think but Desdemona's honest. Long live she so, and long live you to think 115 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,200 so. Farewell. 116 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:36,120 If you do perceive more, let me know more. Set your wife Amelia to observe. 117 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,240 Leave me, Iago. My lord, I take my leave. 118 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:49,720 If she be false, oh, then heaven mocks itself. I'll not believe it. 119 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,400 Oh, now, my dear Othello, your dinner and the generous islanders by you invited to attend 120 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,000 your presence. I am to blame. 121 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,520 Why is your speech so faint? Are you not well? 122 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,360 I have a pain upon my forehead here. Faith that's with watching. 123 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,360 Tulle away again. Let me but bind your head. 124 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:16,040 Within this hour it will be well again. Your handkerchief is too little. 125 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,720 Othello puts the handkerchief from him and Desdemona unwittingly drops it. 126 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,080 Come, I'll go in with you. I am very sorry that you are not well. 127 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:36,320 They exit, leaving Amelia alone in the garden. I'm glad I have found this handkerchief. 128 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:43,240 This was her first remembrance from the moor. In recent days my wayward husband has a hundred 129 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,840 times wooed me to steal it. But she so loves the token, for Othello conjured 130 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,920 her she should ever keep it, that she reserves it evermore about her to kiss and talk to. 131 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,440 How now? What are you here alone? 132 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,680 Do not, you chide. I have a thing for you. 133 00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:06,240 A thing for me? What will you give me now for that same handkerchief? 134 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,680 What handkerchief? What handkerchief? 135 00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:15,120 Why that the moor first gave to Desdemona, that which so often you did bid me steal? 136 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,040 Has stolen it from her? No, faith. 137 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,960 She let it drop by negligence, and to the advantage I being here took it up. 138 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,640 Look, here it is. A good wench. 139 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,120 Give it me. What will you do with it that you have been 140 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,000 so earnest to have me filch it? Why, what's that to you? 141 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,480 If it be not for some purpose of import, give it me again. 142 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,760 Poor lady, she'll run mad when she shall lack it. 143 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:49,760 I have use for it. Go, leave me. 144 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,960 I will in Cassio's lodging lose this handkerchief and let him find it. 145 00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,620 Trifles light as air are to the jealous confirmation strong as proofs of holy writ. 146 00:12:00,620 --> 00:12:06,320 This may do something. The moor already changes with my poison. 147 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,360 I did say so. Look where he comes. 148 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,120 False to me. To me? 149 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,520 Why, how now, general? No more of that. Be gone, you've set me on the rack. 150 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,200 I swear it is better to be much abused than but to know a little. 151 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,040 I am sorry to hear this. Villain! 152 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,120 Be sure thou prove my love a-strumpet. Be sure of it. 153 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,560 Give me the ocula proof, or by the worth of man's eternal soul 154 00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:32,160 you'd better have been born a dog than answer my wake wrath. 155 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,920 Just come to this. Make me to see it. 156 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,400 I'll have some proof. I'll not endure it. 157 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,440 I see, sir, you are eaten up with passion. I do repent me that I put it to you. 158 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,280 You would be satisfied. Would nay, I will. 159 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,800 Give me a living reason she's disloyal. I do not like the office. 160 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,600 But since I am entered into this cause so far, pricked to it by foolish honesty and 161 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,480 love, I will go on. With Cassio lately, and being troubled with 162 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,640 a raging tooth, I could not sleep. There are a kind of men so loose of soul that 163 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:10,760 in their sleep will mutter their affairs. One of this kind is Cassio. 164 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:17,920 In sleep I heard him say, Sweet Desdemona, let us be wary. 165 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,600 Let us hide our love. And then, sir, would he grip and wring my 166 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,200 hand, cry out, Sweet creature, and then kiss me hard as if he plucked up kisses by the 167 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:32,160 roots that grew upon my lips, and then cried, Cursed fate that gave thee to the more. 168 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,160 Monstrous!
