Othello Act 5 Scene 2,3

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.

Definitions: Alabaster(5.2.5)-noun-a finely granular variety of gypsum, often white and translucent, used for ornamental objects or work, such as lamp bases, figurines
Belie(5.2.132)-verb-to show to be false; contradict
