Argument #3
Character: Roderigo
Iago:
...So shall you have a shorter journey to your desires by the means I shall then have to prefer them, and the impediment most profitably removed, without the which there were no expectation of our prosperity.
Roderigo:
I will do this, if you can bring it to any opportunity.
Roderigo:
It’s silly to live when life is torture. The only cure is death.
Iago:
Oh, how stupid! I’ve been alive for twenty-eight years, and I’ve never met a man who knew what was good for him. I’d rather be a baboon than kill myself out of love for some woman I can’t have.
Roderigo:
What should I do? I know it’s foolish to be so much in love, but I can’t help it.
One who does not love with the intelligence of their mind becomes blinded by the passionate feelings within their heart.
One who does not love with the intelligence of their mind becomes blinded by the passionate feelings within their heart.
Quotation #1
Roderigo:
It is silliness to live when to live is torment, and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.
Iago:
Oh, villainous! I have looked upon the world for four times seven years, and since I could distinguish betwixt a benefit and an injury I never found man that knew how to love himself. Ere I would say I would drown myself for the love of a guinea hen, I would change my humanity with a baboon.
Roderigo:
What should I do? I confess it is my shame to be so fond, but it is not in my virtue to amend it.
One who does not love with the intelligence of their mind becomes blinded by the passionate feelings within their heart.
One who does not love with the intelligence of their mind becomes blinded by the passionate feelings within their heart.
While the costumes and the settings are similar between the two, the delivery of the lines makes the difference.

Desdemona appear submissive with dignity
1965 -Othello comes off more animalistic
