play, often known as the scene of temptation as well
see Iago tease and taunt Othello with suggestions of
Iago with line breaks:
Desdemona's infidelity, tempting him into a state of

Act 3 Scene 3 Othello: Othello expresses his deep
love for Desdemona in this exclamation. The word
"perdition," meaning Hell, comes from the Latin
perdere ,which means "to put completely to
destruction." He is therefore expressing that he loves
her boundlessly, even to the point where his love for
her threatens his own soul. Throughout the play, there
"Excellent wretch! are many references to Hell and the Devil, incarnated
Perdition catch my soul in the character of Iago. He is able to manipulate
But I do love thee, and Othello through his intense love of Desdemona, and
when I love thee not, indeed leads him and others to destruction by play's
chaos is come again" end.
Later in the quote, we see the word "chaos," which is
an interesting word. This is, in fact, what happens
when Othello ceases to love Desdemona. Othello's
words are prophetic here, and they foreshadow what
his life will become as he descends into the madness
of jealousy. Iago is ultimately the catalyst that causes
this chaos to erupt.
Act 3 Scene 3 Iago: This scene could be portrayed as
quite comedic as through merely the use of repetition
he is able to create jealousy from Othello. The
manipulation Iago deploys in this scene is so effective
highlights his intelligence as a Machiavellian villain.
"Honest, my lord?" "Think, The repetitions, use of hesitations and withholding
my lord?" information shown in the text through the use of
caesuras show the extent of Iago's villainy. This scene
could be depicted in many ways. Othello could be
seem as desperate to unveil Iago's though however at
the same time, he could be enacted as submissive
towards the information that Iago is showing.
