Quote: "I told him what I thought, and told no more
Than what he found himself was apt and true."(5.2.173-174)
Significance: This quote is significant because everyone just found out what Iago was doing the whole time. Now he is trying to sound like he did not really say Desdemona was cheating on Othello, but said he thought she was. He keeps lying even after all this people have been murder. Iago has no heart. He is only thinking about himself and how he can keep himself out of trouble. This quote definitely shows that he is only thinking about himself. Only if he was murdered at the end it would have completed the play.

Othello Act 4 Scene 2,3
Quote: "No, as I am a Christian.
If to preserve this vessel for my lord
From any other foul unlawful touch
Be not to be a strumpet, I am none"(4.2.86-89).
Significance: Desdemona is trying to tell her husband, Othello that she has been faithful the whole time. Othello has been brainwashed by Iago to believe the opposite and it is unfair. Desdemona is being very faithful and honest, but Iago is so believing when he lies, Othello does not believe Desdemona. I can not wait to see what happens when everyone finds out that it was all Iago and his plan. I think it will also be to late. Desdemona will be dead before Othello knows the truth and then he is going to kill Iago when he finds out.
Definitions: Strumpet(4.2.83)-noun-a prostitute; harlot
Scurvy(4.2.139)-adjective-contemptible; despicable

Othello Act 4 Scene 1
Quote: "Oh, devil, devil!
If that the earth could teem with woman's tears,
Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile.
Out of my sight!" (4.1.193-195)
Significance: This quote is significant because it is showing how furious Othello is a Desdemona for no reason, but he does not know that. Iago is the one who is creating all of this chaos. Soon or a later Iago is going to get caught up in all his lies and is going to be killed by Othello. (Well that's what I think). Iago needs to stop what he is doing. He is just causing drama for the people and making everyone mad. It's making me mad! He is so two-faced and backstabbing it is so annoying!
Definitions: Doth(4.1.21)-verb-to perform.
Beguile(4.1.99)-verb-to influence by trickery, flattery, etc.; mislead; delude.

Othello Act 3 Scene 4
Quote: "Why, so I can, sir, but I will not now.
This is a trick to put me from my suit.
Pray you, let Cassio be received again."(3.4.78-80)
Significance: This quote is significant because it makes Iago look like he is telling the truth about Desdemona cheating on Othello. She tries to hide that she lost the handkerchief and starts talking about Cassio again, but she does not know that Iago put it in Cassio's room to frame him. Now Othello thinks Desdemona is cheating on him, but she's not at all. Everything that is happening is just making Iago's plan better and more believable. It is driving me crazy that they have not figured this plan out yet. I wanna just go in the book and tell them straight up that he's a backstabbing liar! Ugh.

Othello Act 3 Scene 1, 2,3
Quote: "Thou dost conspire against thy friend, Iago,
If thou but think'st him wronged and mak'st his ear
A stranger to thy thoughts."(3.3.147-149)
Significance: Iago has never been a good friend and everyone is seeing him as this trustworthy and honest man when he certainly is neither. Everyone is falling for his sneaky plan and it's pissing me off, I do not like Iago. He is creating this sneaky plan that is going to ruin every one's life at this point and they do not even know it. I think that Othello is going to kill Desdemona in the future for doing nothing because Iago is a LIAR. Then everyone will realize that Iago was not a trustworthy or honest friend.

Othello Act 2 Scene 2,3
Quote: "I think it freely, and betimes in the morning I will beseech the virtuous Desdemona to undertake for me. I am desperate of my fortunes if they check me."(2.3.236-238)
Significance: This quote is significant because everyone keeps falling for Iago's plan. When Cassio says that he believe in what Iago says completely he does not know what he is getting himself into. Iago is being very sneaky and I have a feeling someone is going to over hear something or catch onto his plan. Then there is going to be some real fights not just ones from drunken men. Eventually it is all going to back fire into Iago's face and he is not going to like it. Everything Iago is doing and saying is foreshadowing a lot.
Definitions: Peevish(2.3.184)- adjective-cross, querulous, or fretful, as from vexation or discontent
Clamor(2.3.230)- noun-a loud uproar, as from a crowd of people
