It is too true an evil. Gone she is. And what's to come of my despised time is naught but bitterness. Now Roderigo, where didst thou see her-- Oh unhappy girl! with the Moor sayst thou?

Cursed be that i did so! All the charms of sycorax-- toads, beetles, bats- light on you! for i am all the subjects that you have, which first was mine own king; and here you sty me in this hard rock whiles you keep from me the rest of the island

Caliban 3. after tempest, talking with Prospero 4. Caliban is native; claims that island should be his; forbidden to do what is rightfully his; role of government in new world-- taking away what was his and now have a damaged relationship

be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices, that if i then had waked after long sleep will make me sleep again and then in dreaming the clouds methought would open and show riches ready to drop upon me, that when i waked i cried to dream again

Caliban 3. planning the overthrow of Prospero 4. instruments that put him to sleep-- Ariel is the music so are they trying to keep him asleep?

Nay yet be wise, yet we see nothing done, she may be honest yet. Tell me but this, have you not sometimes seen a handkerchief spotted with strawberries in your wife's hand? I know not that, but such a handkerchief-- I am sure it was you wife's -- did i today see cassio wipe his beard with

Iago 3. Manipulating Othello 4. strawberries recognized as English; embroidery is symbol of female knowledge; using handkerchief to spark jealousy

oh beware my lord of jealousy! it is the green eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss who certain of his fate, loves not his wronger, but oh what damned minutes tells he over who dotes yet doubts -- suspects yet soundly loves

Iago 3. Manipulating Othello in to thinking Desdemona is unfaithful 4. jealousy as torture; monster imagery

These Moors are changeable in their wills-- fill thy purse with oney. The food that to him now is as luscious as locusts shall be to him shortly as bitter as coloquintida. She must change for youth. When she is sated with his body she will find the errors of her choice. Therefore, put money in thy purse. If thou wilt needs damn thyself, do it a more delicate way then drowning.

Lie with her? lie on her? we say lie on her when they belie her! lie with her-- that's fulsome. Handkerchief-- confessions-- handkerchief! to confess and be hanged for his labor. First to be hanged and then to confess-- i tremble at it. Nature would not invest herself in such shadowing passion without some instruction. It is not words that shake me thus.

Othello 3. Has overheard Cassio and Desdemona together 4. Has lost his language; breaking down; emphasis on the handkerchief

by the world i think my wife be honest and think she is not. I think that thou art just and think thou art no. I'll have some proof.

If there be cords or knives, poison, or fire, or suffocating streams, i'll not endure it. would i were satisfied!

Othello 3. Talking to Iago after Cassio fired 4. Othello doesnt like to be uncertainty, he is uncertain and it's making him angry

That's a fault. That handkerchief did an egyptian to my mother give, she was a charmer and could almost read the thoughts of people. she told her , while she kept it twould make her amiable and subdue my father entirely to her love but if she lost it or made gift of it, my father's eye should hold her loathed and his spirits should hunt after new fancies. she dying gave it me and bid me when my fate would have me wived, to give it to her.

vouch with me, heaven, i therefore beg it not to please the palate of my appetite, nor to comply with the heat the young affects in my defunct and proper satisfaction, but to be free and bounteous to her mind, and heaven defend your good souls that you should think i will your serious and great business scant when she is with me. No when light winged toys of featherd Cupid seel with wanton dullness my speculative and officed instrument, that my disports corrupt and taint my business, let housewives make a skillet of my helm and all indign and base adversities make head against my estimation

Othello 3. Wants Desdemona to go with him 4. Not for sex; he is too old. He wont be made effeminate either

let him do his spite. My services which i have done the signiory shall out tongue his complaints. Tis yet to know-- which when i know that boasting is an honor, i shall promulgate. I fetch my life and being from men of royal siege, and my demerits may speak unbonneted to as proud a fortune as this that i have reached. For know Iago, but that i love the gentle Desdemona, I would not my unhoused free condition put into circumscription and confine for the sea's worth. But look what lights come yond? No I, I must be found. My parts, my title, and my perfect soul shall manifest me rightly

She thanked me and bade me, if i had a friend that loved her, i should but teach him how to tell my story that would woo her. Upon this hint i spake.

i pray thee, mark me. i thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated to closeness and the bettering of my mind with that which, but by being so retired, over prized all popular rate, in my false brother awaked an evil nature; and my trust, like a good parent, did beget of him a falsehood in its contrary as great as my trust was, which had indeed no limit, a confidence sans bound.

our revels now are ended. These our actors, as i foretold you, were all spirits and are melted in the air, into thin air; and like the baseless fabric of this vision, the cloud capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great globe itself, yea all which it inherit, shall dissolve, and like this insubstantial pageant faded, leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

1. Hamlet 2. Hamlet 3. King and polonius spying before nunnery scene 4. suffering or taking action like Horatio or Laertes

but that the dread of something after death- the undiscovered country, from whose bourn no traveller returns-- puzzles the will, and makes us rather bear those ills we have than to fly to others that we know not of? thus conscience does make cowards of us all, and thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied over with the pale cast of thought, and enterprises of great pith and moment with this regard their currents turn awry and lose the name of action

Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, nor customary suits of solemn black, nor windy suspiration of forced breath, no nor the fruitful river in the eye, nor the dejected havior of the visage, together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief, that can denote me truly.

1. Hamlet 2. Hamlet 3. Standing over Claudius and thinking about killing him 4. is thoughts/moral beliefs stopping him from taking action

O, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt, thaw and resolve itself into a dew, Or that the Everlasting had not fixed His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God, God! How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world! Fie on it, ah fie! Tis an unweeded garden that grows to seed. Things rank and gross in nature possess it merely. That it should come to this. But two months dead-- nay not so much, not two. So excellent a king, that was to this hyperion a satyr.

I have of late-- but wherefore I know not-- lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises, and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air-- look you this brave overhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire-- why it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors

1. Hamlet 2. Hamlet 3. catching up with rosencrantz and guildenstern 4. depressing outlook on life; can't see the good in himself

1. Hamlet 2. Hamlet 3. plan to use players to find out truth 4. power of theater, feels inadequate

soft you a word or two before you go. I have done the state some service and they know it. No more of that. I pray you in your letters, when you shall these unlucky deeds relate, speak of me as i am.

1. Othello 3. Killed Desdemona and about to kill himself 4. saying what he wants people to say about him; defends his nature and wrongs

I marvel your ladyship takes delight in such a barren rascal. I saw him put down the other day with an ordinary fool that has no more brain than a stone. Look you now, he's out of his guard already. Unless you laugh and minister occasion to him, he is gagged. I protest I take these wise men that crow so at these set kind of fools no better than the fool's zanies

1. Twelfth Night 2. Malvolio 3. talking about fool 4. Reason why fool wants revenge. Malvolio belittles him

O she that hath a heart of that fine frame to pay this debt of love but to a brother, how will she love, when the rich golden shaft hath killed the flock of all affections else that live in her when liver, brain, and heart, these sovereign thrones are all supplied, and filled her sweet perfections with one self king.

so please my lord, i might not be admitted, but from her handmaid do return this answer: the element itself, till 7 years heat, shall not behold her face at ample view, but like a cloistress, she will veiled walk and water once a day her chamber round with eye-offending brine all this to season a brother's dead love, which she would keep fresh and lasting in her sad rememberance

1. Twelfth Night 2. Valentine 3. Telling Orsino about Olivia 4. Olivia is like Viola and is mourning a brother; unnatural long grief; tears as preservative; she is supposed to marry b/c she has power/property

1. Twelfth Night 2. Viola 3. Meeting Olivia but she is masked 4. wants to make sure it is the right person, uses Orsinos love language-- scripted

This fellow is wise enough to play the fool, and to do that well craves a kind of wit. He must observe their mood on whom he jests, the quality of persons, and the time, and like the haggard, check at every feather that comes before his eye. This is a practise as full of labor as a wise man's art, for folly shows is fit.

Oh, it came over my ear like the sweet sound, that breathes upon a bank of violets, stealing and giving odor. Enough, no more. Tis not so sweet now as it was before. O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou, that not with standing thy capacity recieveth as the sea, nought enters there, of what validity and pitch so ever, but falls into abatement and low price even in a minute. so full of shapes is fancy that it alone is high fantastical

1. Hamlet 2. Ghost 3. Talking to Hamlet alone 4. he is in purgatory, Catholic notion, scary ghost

Ay that incestuous, that adulterate beast, with witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts-- o wicked with and gifts that have the power so to seduce!-- won to his shameful lust the will of my most seeming virtuous queen. O Hamlet, what a falling off was there! From me, whose love was of that dignity that it went hand in hand even with the vow i made to her in marriage, and to decline upon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor to those of mine. but virtue, as it will be moved, though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven, so lust, though to a radiant angel linked, will sate itself in a celestial bed and prey on garbage

1. Hamlet 2. Ghost 3. talking to Hamlet alone 4. uses similar language as Hamlet before, saying what he wants to hear?

I have heard that guilty creatures sitting at a play have, by the very cunning of the scene, been struck so to the soul that presently they have proclaimed their malefactions. For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak with most miraculous organ. I'll have these players play something like the murder of my father before mine uncle. I'll observe his looks. I'll tent him to the quick. If he do blench, i know my course. the spirit that i have seen may be the devil, and the devil hath power t assume a pleasing shape. Yeah and perhaps out of my weakness and my melancholy, as he is very potent with such spirits, abuses me to damn me. I'll have grounds more relative than this. The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king

1. Hamlet 2. Hamlet 3. plan to use players to find out truth 4. using play to get a confession; acknowledges possible demon in ghost; reaction and passion as evidence

get thee to a nunnery. Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest, but yet i could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me. i am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than i have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as i do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves all. Believe none of us. Go thy ways to a nunnery

1. Hamlet 2. Hamlet 3. talking to Ophelia and being spied on 4. pointing out sin of man; issues of nunnery -- only catholic; nunnery slang or brothel to protestant nation

what a piece of work is man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals. And yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me. No, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so

1. Hamlet 2. Hamlet 3. talking to R and G 4. Man has all the potential but always falls short; infection and corruption of man

i have heard of your paintings too, well enough. God has given you one face and you make yourselves another. You jig and amble, and you lisp, you nickname God's creatures and make your wantonness your ignorance. Go to, i'll have no more on it. It hath made me mad. I say we will have no more marriages. Those that are married already all but one shall live. The rest shall keep as they are. To a nunnery go

1. Hamlet 2. Hamlet 3. with Ophelia and being spied on 4. hatred of women; threat to Claudius about marriage; attacking Ophelia

O what a rogue and peasant slave am I! Is it not monstrous that this player here, but in a fiction, in a dream of passion, could force his soul so to his own conceit that from her working all his visage wanned, tears in his eyes, distraction in his aspect, a broken voice, and his whole function suiting with forms to his conceit? And all for nothing-- for Hecuba! What's Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba that he should weep for her? What would he do had he the motive and the cue for passion that i have?

1. Hamlet 2. Hamlet. 3. plan to use players to find out truth 4. using theatricality to create passion and provoke confession, Hamlet thinks his own passions are inadequate for his task

I'll cross it though it blast me. -- Stay illusion! If thou hast any sound or use of voice, speak to me. If there be any good thing to be done that may to thee do ease and grace to me, speak to me. If thou art privy to thy country's fate, which happily foreknowing may avoid, oh, speak! Or if thou hast uphoarded in thy life extorted treasure in the womb of earth, for they say, you spirits oft walk in death speak of it. Stay and speak!

1. Hamlet 2. Horatio 3. On guard to see ghost 4. names different reasons why ghost would be there; won't speak; leaves when cock crows-- demonic

o what a noble mind is here overthrown!-- the courtier's, soldier's , scholar's, eye, tongue, sword, the expectancy and rose of the fair state, the glass of fashion and the mould of form the observed of all observers, quite, quite down! and i of ladies most deject and wretched, that sucked the honey of his music vows, now see that noble and most sovereign reason like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh; that unmatched form and feature of blown youth blasted with ecstasy. Oh woe is me, to have seen what i have seen, see what i see!

1. Hamlet 2. Ophelia 3. after Hamlet has told her to go to a nunnery 4. heart broken; has sympathy; thinks hamlet has lost who he is; is his mirror

am i a coward? who calls me villain? breaks my pate across? tweaks me by the nose? Gives me the lie in the throat as deep as to the lungs? who does me this? ha! swounds, i should take it, for it cannot be but i am a pigeon livered gall or ere this i should have fatted all the region kites with this slave's offal

1. Hamlet 2. Hamlet 3. plan to use players to find out truth 4. uses acting to try to create passion within himself; makes him effeminate

Our chimneys were blown down and as they say, Lamentings heard in the air, strange screams of death, and prophesying with accents terrible of dire combustion and confused events new hatched to the woeful time. The obscure bird clamored the livelong night. Some say the Earth was feverous and did shake

1. Macbeth 2. Lennox-- nobleman 3. After Duncan was killed 4. cosmological disturbances at overthrown of king; unnatural murder and nature responds; horses eat each other

Tis called the Evil. A most miraculous work in this good King. Which so often my here remain in England i have seen him do. How he solicits heaven himself best knows; but strangely visited people all swollen and ulcerous, pitiful to the eye, the mere despair of surgery he cures, hanging a golden stamp around their necks, put on with holy prayers; and tis spoken, to the succeeding royalty he leaves the healing benediction. With this strange virtue, he hath a heavenly gift of prophecy, and sundry blessings hang about his throne that speak to him full of grace

1. Macbeth 2.Malcolm 3. in England soon going to rebel against Macbeth 4. discussing King Edward; potential criticism of James; James does not do the royal touch thing often; belief that rulers could heal people through divine power; Malcolm is becoming more English-- better fit to rule? English influences help reunite Scotland?

For sir, it is as sure as you are Roderigo, Were I the Moor, I would not be Iago. In following him, I follow but myself. Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty, but seeming so for my peculiar end. For when my outward action doth demonstrate the native act and figure of my heart in compliment extern, tis not long after but i will wear my heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at. I am not what i am

1. Othello 2. Iago 3. Trying to get Roderigo to wake up Brabantio to stop wedding 4. He appears to be the follower but isnt; will not reveal his true self; picture of his deception

Oh it is monstrous, monstous! methought the billows spoke and told me of it, the winds did sing it to me, and the thunder, that deep and dreadful organ pipe, pronounced the name of Prosper. It did bass my trespass. therefore my son in the ooze is bedded, and i'll seek him deeper than ever plummet sounded, and with him there lie mudded

Alonso 3. After Ariel has scared them during Prospero's illusion 4. wants to die with son; sound imagery-- depicting the illusion-- Prospero's power demanded in sound-- caused him to experience emotions and guilt

wherever thou beest he or no, or some enchanted trifle to abuse me-- as late i have been-- i not know. Thy pulse beats as of flesh and blood; and since i saw thee, the affliction of my mind amends, with which, i fear a madness held me. This must crave -- an if this be at all-- a most strange story. Thy dukedom i resign and do entreat thou pardon me my wrongs. But how should Prospero be living and be here?

Alonso 3. has been brought to Prospero 4. He is audience for Prospero's illusions; has remorse and asks for forgiveness for his part but other characters dont... why? Antonio does not have same response is he evil as portrayed? Alonso and Prospero are mirrors; Alonso has ability to get Prospero what he wants

you cram these words into mine ears against the stomach of my sense. would i had never married my daughter there; for coming thence my son i lost, and in my rate, she too, who is so far from Italy removed i never again shall see her. O thou mine heir of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish hath made his meal of thee?

Alonso 3. shipwrecked on island 4. He is feeling a dual grief; has lost daughter and son; regretting his decision; emphasis on how much grief he has

if you could hurt, your swords are too massy for your strengths and will not be uplifted. But remember-- for that's my business to you-- that you three from Milan did supplant good Prospero; exposed unto the sea, which hath requite it, him and his innocent child; for which foul deed the powers not forgetting have incensed the seas and shores-- yea all the creatures-- against your peace.

Ariel 3. Prospero has orchestrated this illusion to scare them 4. Ariel makes it clear that this is revenge; Prospero using magic and Ariel, sound, to show his authority and inspire guilt and emotions

Let the devil and his dam haunt you! What did you mean by that same handkerchief you gave me even now? I was a fine fool to take it. I must take out the work? A likely piece of work, that you should find it in your chamber, and not know who left it there! this is some minx's token, and i must take out the work? There give it your hobby horse. Wheresoever you had it, I'll take out no work on it

Bianca 3. Bianca thinks Cassio is sleeping with someone and is upset 4. refuses to take out stitching; female backstory; female power

that i did love the Moor to live with him, my downright violence and storm of fortunes may trumpet to the world. My heart's subdued even to the very quality of my lord. I saw Othello's visage in his mind, and to his honors and his valiant parts did i my soul and fortunes consecrate so that dear lords, if he be left behind a moth of peace and he go to the war the rites for which i love him are bereft me, and i a heavy interim shall support by his dear absence. Let me go with him

Desdemona 3. Wants to go with Othello to war 4. she is demanding and passionate-- goes against social norms; saw his visage they have a deeper connection; spiritual love; wants to consummate

sir she is mortal; but by immortal Providence, she's mine. i chose her when i could not ask my father for his advice nor thought i had one. She is daughter to this famous Duke of Milan-- of whom so often i have heard renown but never saw before-- of whom i have received a second life; a second father this lady makes him to me

Ferdinand 3. has been reunited with father 4. Prospero's last act of magic bringing them together; He has experienced grief; recognizes Prospero as duke of Milan-- recognizing potential for him to be named that again; second life-- brought back to life by Prospero; second father-- uniting families

I myself have all the other, and the very ports they blow, all the quarters that they know in the shipman's card. I'll drain him dry as hay. Sleep shall neither night nor day hang upon his penthouse lid. He shall live a man forbid. Weary seven nights nine times nine shall he dwindle peak and pine. though his bark cannot be lost, yet it shall be tempest tossed.

First witch 3. awaiting arrival of Macbeth 4. can control wind; will interrupt his sleep; can affect health; they are limited also

in the commonwealth i would by contraries execute all things. for no kind of traffic would i admit; no name of magistrate; letters should not be known; riches, poverty, and use of service, none; contract, succession, bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none; no use of metal, corn, wine or oil; no occupation, all men idle all; and women too, but innocent and pure; no sovereignty

Gonzalo 3. They are stranded on the island 4. depiction of his ideal commonwealth; almost verbatim to Montano's essay on savages; portrays a kind of utopia without a king-- but is that possible to not have a ruler? sovereignty creates issues and wars

Beseech you sir, be merry. YOu have cause-- so have we all -- of joy; for our escape is much beyond our loss. Our hint of woe is common; every day some sailor's wife the masters of some merchant, and the merchant have just our theme of woe. but for the miracle-- i mean our preservation-- few in millions can speak like us. Then wisely, good sir, weigh our sorrow with our comfort

Gonzalo 3. landed on the island after storm 4. trying to comfort Alonso; Alonso experiencing most grief; saying death is common especially at sea; perception that he shouldnt be having all that grief

ay there's the point. As to be bold with you, not to affect many proposed matches of her own clime, complexion, and degree, whereto we see in all things nature tends-- Foh! one may smell sin such a will most rank, foul disproportions, thoughts unnatural

Iago 3. Making Othello think Desdemona is unfaithful 4. implying that Desdemona's attraction to him is unnatural; underneath her love is something bad

you gods look down, and from your sacred vials pour your graces upon my daughter's head. Tell me, mine own, where hast thou been preserved? where lived? how found thy father's court? for thou shalt hear that i knowing by Paulina that the oracle gave hope thou wast in being, have preserved myself to see this issue

Hermione 3. came alive again 4. instantly talks to Perdita; reuniting of mother and child; brings up question of whether or not she was really dead; preserved herself... what does that mean

Grace to boot! of this make no conclusion, lest you say your queen and I are devils. yet go on. The offenses we have made you do we'll answer-- if you first sinned with us, and that with us you did continue fault, and that you slipped not with any but with us

Hermione 3. trying to convince Polixenes to stay 4. could be translated as double speak; Leontes interprets as flirtation;

i speak not yet of proof. Look to your wife, observer her well with Cassio. Wear your eyes thus, not jealous nor secure. I would not have your free and noble nature out of self bounty be abused. Look to it. I know our country disposition well. In Venice they do let God see the pranks they dare not show their husbands. Their best conscience is not to leave it undone, but keep it unknown

Iago 3. Cassio fired, manipulating Othello 4. teaching Othello to be jealous; puts Desdemona in stereotype instead of individual-- causes doubt; claims he knows Venetian stereotype;

I will in Cassio's lodging lose this napkin and let him find it. Trifles light as air are to the jealous confirmations strong as proofs of holy writ. This may do something. The Moor already changes with my poison. Dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons which at the first are scarce found to distaste, but with a little act upon the blood burn like the mines of sulfur

Iago 3. Emilia has given him the handkerchief 4. do not need a lot of evidence -- just a little;

Virtue? A fig! Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners. So that if we will plant nettles or sow lettuce, set hyssop and weed up thyme, supply it with one gender of herbs or distract it with many-- either to have it sterile with idleness or manured with industry-- why, the power and corrigible authority of this lies in our wills. If the balance of our lives had not one scale of reason to poise another of sensuality, the blood and baseness of our natures would conduct us to most preposterous conclusions. But we have reason to cool our raging motions, our carnal stings, our unbitted lusts. Whereof I take this that you call love to a sect or scion

Iago 3. Manipulating Roderigo to pursue Desdemona 4. we have control over will; our will controls our emotions; extreme view of emotions and does not recognize love

I hate the Moor, and it is thought abroad that twixt my sheets he's done my office. I know not if it be true, but i for mere suspicion of in that kind, will do as if for surety. He holds me well. the better shall my purpose work on him. Cassio's a proper man. Let me see now, to get his place and to plume up my will in double knavery. How? How? Let's see. After some time, to abuse Othello's ear that he is too familiar with his wife. He hath a person and a smooth dispose to be suspected, framed to make women false. The Moor is of a free and open nature that thinks men honest that but seem to be so, and will as tenderly be led by the nose as asses are. I have it. It is engendered! Hell and night must bring this monstrous birth to world's light

Iago 3. Planning to take down Othello 4. will use Othello's nature against him; Iago full of suspicion; possible motivation; does what he thinks people will believe

that Cassio loves her, i do well believe it. That she loves him, tis apt and of great credit. The Moor, how beit that i endure him not is of a constant loving noble nature, and i dare think he'll prove to Desdemona a most dear husband. Now, i do love her too not out of absolute lust-- though peradventure i stand accountant for as great a sin-- but partly led to diet my revenge, for that i do suspect the lusty Moor hath leaped into my seat. the thought whereof doth like a poisonous mineral gnaw my inwards

Iago 3. Plotting against Cassio 4. he measures things by their plausability-- what people will believe and assumptions; contradicting what he said earlier about Othello; love for Desdemona?; believing his own lies

Do not rise yet. Witness, you ever burning lights above, you elements that clip us round about, witness that here Iago doth give the execution of his wit, hands, heart, to wronged Othello's service. Let him command, and to obey shall be in my remorse what bloody business ever

Iago 3. got Othello to believe that Desdemona was unfaithful 4. like a marriage ceremony; on knees, shifting of alliances

Zounds, sir, you are one of those that will not serve God, if the devil bid you. Because we come to do you service and you think we are ruffians, you'll have your daughter covered with a Barbary horse. You'll have your nephews neigh to you. You'll have coursers for cousins and gennets for germans. I am one sir that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs

Iago 3. telling Brabantio about Othello's wedding 4. depicting Othello as monster and evil; hate speech

what beast was it then, that made you break this enterprise to me? when you durst do it, then you were a man; and to be more than what you were you would be so much more the man. Nor time nor place did then adhere, and yet you would make both. They have made themselves, and that their fitness now does unmake you. I have given suck and know how tender tis to love the babe that milks me; i would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums and dashed the brains out, had i so sworn as you have done to this

Lady Macbeth 3. About to carry out Duncan's murder but Macbeth is afraid 4. Demonstrates their weird relationship; mother imagery is she portraying mother role? evil? Gender implications that he is unable to do something like unsex me speech; belief women transferred things through milk

come you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the top full of direst cruelty! make thick my blood stop up the access and passage to remorse, that no compunctions visitings of nature shake my fell purpose nor keep peace between the effect and it. Come to my woman's breasts and take my milk for gall you murdering ministers, whereever in you sightless substances you wait on nature's mischief

Lady Macbeth 3. Finds out what witches say and wants to kill Duncan 4. inviting spirits, demonic, supernatural; reference to milk; wants to be unnatural and not a woman or a man; murder part of her evil or super natural?

there may be in the cup a spider steeped, and one may drink, depart, and yet partake no venom for his knowledge is not infected. but if one present the abhorred ingredient to his eye make known how he hat drunk, he cracks the gorge, his sides with violent hefts. I have drunk and seen the spider. Camillo was hie help in this, his pander. there is a plot against my life, my crown. All's true that is mistrusted

Leontes 3. fully believes Hermione cheated on him 4. shows belief that poison from spider cant affect you if you aren't aware of it, metaphor to his cuckoldry; knowledge participates in poison and feeling; his feeling is knowledge and evidence; knowledge creating poison and ignorance creating protection?

I have tremor cordis on me; my heart dances, but not for joy, not joy. This entertainment may a free face put on, derive a liberty from heartiness, from bounty, fertile bosom, and well become the agent-- it may, I grant-- but to be paddling palms and pinching fingers, as now they are, and making practiced smiles as in a looking glass; and then to sigh, as twere the mort of the deer-- oh that is entertainment my bosom likes not nor my brows-- Mamilius, art thou my boy?

Leontes 3. Afraid Hermione is cheating on him; she just convinced Polixenes to stay 4. references cuckoldry--brow; his evidence that she is cheating is his physiological response; recognizes the possibility that she is innocent but rejects it

physic for it there's none. it is a bawdy planet that will strike where tis predominant; and tis powerful, think it from east, west, north, and south; be it concluded, no barricade for a belly. Know it, it will let in and out the enemy with bag and baggage. Many thousand on 's have the disease and feel it not. -- how now boy?

Leontes 3. believes Hermione has cheated on him after asking Polixenes to stay 4. doubt and lack of faith demonstrate his view. cuckoldry everywhere and many don't even know it

and many a man there is even at this present, now while I speak, holds his wife by the arm, that little thinks she has been sluiced in his absence, and his pond fished by his next neighbor, by sir smile, his neighbor. Nay there's comfort in it whiles other men have gates and those gates opened, as mine against their will. should all despair that have revolted wives, the tenth of mankind would hang themselves.

Leontes 3. believes Hermione has cheated on him after asking Polixenes to stay 4. talking about how cuckholds are everywhere, hatred of women? women identified parts; community of cuckholds-- like community of men again?

why what need we commune with you of this but rather follow our forceful instigation? our prerogative calls not your counsels, but our natural goodness imparts this, which if yu-- or stupefied or seeming so in skill-- cannot or will not relish a truth like us, inform yourselves. we need no more of your advice. the matter-- the loss, the gain the ordering on it is all properly ours.

Leontes 3. has ordered that Hermione be put in jail 4. displays his tyranny; he won't listen to anyone and is isolated; he is passionate and angry-- like failed kings in other plays like Claudius

we were as twinned lambs that did frisk in the sun and bleat the one at the other. what we changed was innocence for innocence. we knew not the doctrine of ill doing nor dreamed that any did. Had we pursued this life, an dour weak spirits never been higher reared with stronger blood, we should have answered heaven boldly "not guilty" the imposition cleared hereditary ours.

Leontes 3. reminiscing with Polixenes 4. twins-- no difference; romanticized notion of boyhood; innocence for innocence--not corrupted by world; Hermione represents divide-- caused by marriage; Mamilius about to make this transfer

looking in the lines of my boy's face, methoughts I did recoil twenty three years and saw myself unbreeched, in my green velvet coat, my dagger muzzled lest it should bite its master and so prove, as ornaments oft do too dangerous. how like methought, I then was to this kernel, this squash, this gentleman.

Leontes 3. speaking to Mamilius 4. reminiscing about his childhood; displays romanticized notion of boyhood; dagger muzzled-- no interference of sexuality; negative implications of sexuality; Mamilius like mammory-- part of women's world; squash refers to boy that isn't a man

Sweet villain, most dearst my collop. Can thy dam--? May it be?--- affection thy intention stabs the center; thou dost make possible things not so held, communicatst with dreams-- how can this be?-- with what's unreal thou coactive art, and fellow's nothing. then tis very credent thou mayst cojoin with something and thou dost and that beyond commission, and I find it, and that to the infection of my brains and hardening of my brows

Leontes 3. thinks Hermione is cheating on him 4. interpreting his mood and arousal as evidence; not very cohesive language; reference to cuckholdry

is whispering nothing? is leaning cheek to cheek? is meeting noses? kissing with inside lip? stopping the career of laughter with a sigh-- a note infallible of breaking honesty? Horsing foot on foot? skulking in corners? wishing clocks more swift? hours minutes? noon midnight? and all eyes blind with the pin and web but theirs, theirs only, that would be unseen be wicked? is this nothing? why then, the world and all that's in it nothing. The covering sky is nothing. Bohemia is nothing my wife is nothing, nor nothing have these nothings if this be nothing

Leontes 3. thinks Hermione is cheating on him with Polixenes 4. already jealous but for unknown reason, repetition of nothing-- sexual; state of disintegration like Othello

my child? away with it! even as thou that hast a heart so tender over it take it hence and see it instantly consumed with fire. even thou and none but thou. take it up straight. within this hour bring me word tis done, and by good testimony or i'll seize thy life with what thou else call'st thine. If thou refuse, and wilt encounter with my wrath, say so, the bastard brains with these my proper hands shall i dash out. Go take it to the fire, for thou sett'st on my wife

Leontes 3. Baby is born and brought before him 4. wants the baby to be killed; infanticide; uses similar language as Lady Macbeth; asks for it to be carried out; displays tyranny and madness

she should have died hereafter; there would have been a time for such a word. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time, and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out out brief candle. Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing

Macbeth 3. Found out that Lady Macbeth is dead 4. not much remorse for Lady Macbeth; depressing outlook on life; theatrical metaphor to life; meaning is gone

we have scorched the snake not killed it. She'll close and be herself whilst our poor malice remains in danger of her former tooth. But let the frame of things disjoint both the worlds suffer, ere we will eat our meal in fear and sleep in the affliction of these terrible dreams that shake us nightly. Better be with the dead, whom we, to gain our peace have sent to peace than on the torture of the ind to lie in restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave after life's fitful fever he sleeps well. Treason has done his worst nor steel nor poison, malice domestic foreign levy, nothing can touch him further

Macbeth 3. Plotting to kill Banquo 4. plan is not over with Duncan's murder; regret of decision? living with consequences? he is harsh? inverted mirrors of each other?

i hear it by the way , but i will send. there's not a one of them but in his house i keep a servant feed. I will tomorrow and betimes i will to the weird sisters. More shall they speak for now i am bent to know by the worst meanst the worst. for my own good all causes shall give way. I am in blood stepped in so far that should i wade no more, returning were as tedious as go over strange things i have in head that will to hand, which must be acted ere they may be scanned

Macbeth 3. been haunted by Banquo's ghost 4. This passage demonstrates that Macbeth has some regret and acknowledges how far he has gone. He is too far in blood, and wants advice from the weird sisters.

He's here in double trust: First as i am his kinsman and his subject, strong both against the deed; then as his host, who should against his murderer shut the door not bear the knife myself

Macbeth 3. debating whether or not he will go through with killing Duncan 4. recognizing unnatural layers of the murder-- he is related to him and his host; violation of political and natural order; violation against heaven since king and heaven connected

if it were done when tis done, then twere well it were done quickly. If the assassination could trammel up the consequence and catch with his surcrease success; that but this blow might be the be-all and the end-all here, but here upon this bank and shoal of time, we'd jump the life to come. But in these cases we still have judgment here, that we but teach bloody instructions which being taught, return to plague the inventor: this even handed justice commends the ingredients of our poisoned chalice to our own lips

Macbeth 3. debating whether or not to kill Duncan 4. wants to avoid consequences; notion that time holds consequences; wants to break up linear concept of time to avoid them

Methought i heard a voice cry Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep the innocent sleep, sleep that knits up the ravelld sleeve of care, the death of each day's new life sore labor's bath, balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, chief nourisher in life's feast

Macbeth 3. has killed Duncan 4. consequence of murder; sleep related to greater fragmentation; murdered him while sleeping so cant sleep; killed sleep? foreshadowing of unrest?

I have thee not, and yet i see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision sensible to feeling as to sight? Or art thou but a dagger of the mind, a false creation, proceeding from the heat oppressed brain? i see thee yet, in form as palpable as this which i now draw

Macbeth 3. having vision of dagger floating in air before him to kill Duncan 4. he sees a dagger maybe—depending on staging and pulls out a dagger; sees images he believes to be real? Is he seeing things and having trouble distinguishing reality? Is it a real dagger that has appeared supernaturally?

Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, why hath it given me earnest of success, commencing in a truth? I am thane of Cawdor. If good, why do i yield to that suggestion whose horrid image doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs, against the use of nature? Present fears are less than horrible imaginings. My thought whose murder yet is fantastical, shakes me so my single state of man that function is smothered in surmise and nothing is but what is not

Macbeth 3. just spoke to witches 4. brings up possibility that Macbeth has already been tainted by witches and is already affected by outside forces; potentially already picturing murder, or his own demise

thinkst thou i'd make a life of jealousy, to follow still the changes of the moon with fresh suspicions? no! to be once in doubt is to be resolved. Exchanged me for a goat when i shall turn the business of my soul to such exsufflicate and blowed surmises, matching thy inferences. Tis not to make me jealous to say my wife is fair, feeds well, loves company, is free of speech, sings, plays, and dances. Where virtue is these are more virtuous. Nor from mine own weak merits will i draw the smallest fear or doubt of her revolt, for she had eyes and chose me. No iago, I'll see before I doubt, when i doubt, prove, and on the proof there is no more but this away at once with love or jealousy!

Ohtello 3. Iago manipulating him; Cassio fired 4. doesnt assume Desdemona's passions are any kind of evidence; doesnt want to doubt

of one whose hand like the base indian threw a pearl away richer than all his tribe. Of one whose subdued eyes albeit unused to the melting mood, drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees their medicinal gum. Set you down this and say besides that in Aleppo once, where a malignant and turbaned Turk beat a Venetian and traduced the state, i took by the throat the circumsized dog and smote him thus

it is the cause, it is the cause my soul. Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars, it is the cause. Yet i'll not shed her blood, nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow and smooth as monumental alabaster. yet she must die else she'll betray more men. Put out the light and then put out the light. If i quench thee thou flaming minister, i can again thy former light restore should i repent me. But once put out thy light thou cunningst pattern of excelling nature i know not where is that Promethean heat that can thy light relume

Othello 3. About to kill Desdemona 4. repeating a lot of lines and words like cause and light maybe convincing himself to carry out murder; does not want to damage her skin

It gives me wonder great as my content to see you here before me. Oh my soul's joy! If after every tempest come such calms, may the winds blow till they have wakened death, and let the laboring bark climb hills of seas olympus high and duck again as low as hell's from heaven! If it were now to die, twere now to be most happy for i fear my soul hath her content so absolute that not another comfort like this succeeds in unknown fate. Amen to that sweet powers! I cannot speak enough of this content. It stops me here, it is too much of joy. And this and this the greatest discords be that ever our hearts shall make!

These things to hear would Desdemona seriously incline. But still the house affairs would draw her hence, which ever as she could with haste dispatch, she'd come again, and with a greedy ear devour up my discourse, which i observing took once a pliant hour and found good means to draw from her a prayer of earnest heart that i would all my pilgrimage dilate whereof by parcels she had something heard but not intentively. I did consent and often did beguile her of her tears when i did speak of some distressful stroke that my youth suffered

Still questioned me the story of my life from year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes, that i have passed i ran it through, even from my boyish days to the very moment that he bade me tell it, wherein i spoke of most disastrous chances, of moving accidents by flood and field, of hair breadth scapes in the imminent deadly breach of being taken by the insolent foe and sold to slavery of my redemption thence and portance in my traveler's history. Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle, rough quarries, rocks, hills whose heads touch heaven, it was my hint to speak-- such was my process-- And of the cannibals that each others eat the anthropophagi and men whos heads grew beneath their shoulders

Othello Defending his love for Desdemona 4. his bond with Brabantio; his history of his life-- interesting and difficult; he is old

in this last tempest. I perceive these lords at this encounter do so much admire that they devour their reason and scarce think their eyes do offices of truth, their words are natural breath. But howsoever you have been jostled from your sense, know for certain that i am Prospero, and that very duke which was thrust forth of Milan, who most strangely upon this shore where you were wrecked was landed to be the lord on it

Prospero 3. is meeting face to face with Alonso and other men for the first time 4. he has lost his daughter; marriage like death; confirming his identity

i care not. it is an heretic that makes the fire, not she which burns in it. I'll not call you tyrant; but this most cruel usage of your queen-- not able to produce more accusation than your own weak hinged fancy-- something savors of tyranny will ignoble make you, yea scandalous to the world

Paulina 3. Hermione has had the baby and Paulina is yelling at Leontes 4. Paulina will not be silenced; he threatens to burn her; depicting his tyranny and rage-- passionate = bad ruler

no like a bank for love to lie and play on. not like a corpse-- or if not to be buried, but quick and in mine arms. Come take your flowers methinks i play as i have seen them do in whitsun pastorals. Sure this robe of mine does change my disposition

Perdita 3. talking with Florizel 4. pastoral-- english rural festival; second half of play like a pastoral; "or if" after corpse hinting at resurrection

Say there be. Yet nature is made better by no mean but nautre makes that mean. So over that art which you say adds to nature is an art that nature makes. you see sweet maid we marry a gentler scion to the wildest stock and make conceive a bark of baser kind by bud of nobler race. This is an art which does mend nature-- change it rather--but the art itself is nature

Polixenes 3. in disguise watching talking to his son and Perdita 4. calling art nature; defining nature and intermingling it with art; critics disprove of how romances ignore nature so this could be a direct comment about that critic; mending art and nature and defending romances/theater

no harm. i have done nothing but in care of thee-of thee, my dear one, thee, my daughter-- who art ignorant of what thou art, naught knowing of when i am, nor that i am more better than Prospero, master of a full poor cell and thy no greater father

Prospero 3. Miranda is upset about the shipwreck and he is about to tell her more about their life 4. all of his magic and the tempest are for her; it is a plot; comedy moving towards marriage; she is ignorant-- does not understand

thou my slave, as thou reportst thyself, was then her servant; and for thou wast a spirit too delicate to act her earthy and abhorred commands, refusing her grand hests, she did confine thee, by help of her more potent ministers, and in her most unmitigable rage, into a cloven pine; within which rift imprisoned thou didst painfully remain a dozen years, within which space she died and left thee there, where thou didst vent thy groans as fast as millwells strike

Prospero 3. Reminding Ariel why he is not free 4. reminding him of sycorax; comparison to make him obey; using fear to put Ariel in place-- is he that different from Sycorax?

thou best knowst what torment i did find thee in: thy groans did make wolves howl and penetrate the breasts of ever angry bears. It was a torment to lay upon the damned, which sycorax could not again undo. It was mine art, when i arrived and heard thee, that made gape the pine and let thee out. IF thou murmurst i will rend an oak and peg thee in his knotted entrails till thou hast howled away twelve winters

Prospero 3. Reminding Ariel why he is not free 4. threatening Ariel; similar punishment; failing to distinguish himself from sycorax; using fear to keep his subjects in line

Oh a cherubin thou wast that did preserve me. Thou didst smile, infused with a fortitude from heaven, when i decked the sea with drops full salt, under my burden groaned, which raised in me an undergoing stomach to bear up against what should ensue

my brother and thy uncle, called Antonio-- i pray thee mark me, that a brother should be so perfidious!-- he whom next thyself of all the world i loved, and to him put the manage of my state, as at that time through all the signories it was the first and Prospero the prime duke being so reputed in dignity and for the liberal arts without parallel. those being all my study, the government i cast upon my brother and to my state grew stranger, being transported and rapt in secret studies. thy false uncle-- dost thou attend me?

Prospero 3. Telling Miranda their story 4. He allowed his brother to rule because he was to involved in his studies-- not a good ruler; has to ask Miranda if she is listening-- like asking the audience; it is a long story

by my so potent art. But this rough magic i here abjure; and when i have required some heavenly music-- which even now i do-- to work mine end upon their sense that this airy charm is for, i'll break my staff, bury it certain fathoms in the earth and deeper than did ever plummet sound i'll drown my book

Prospero 3. about to finish his plan 4. giving up his magic; anticipation of his death and struggles to face him in Milan; putting his career aside for his daughter

abhorred slave, which any print of goodness wilt not take, being capable of all ill. I pitied thee, took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour one thing or other. When thou didst not, savage, know thine own meaning but wouldst gabble like a thing most brutish, i endowed thy purposes with words that made them known. but thy vile race, though thou didst learn, had that in it which good natures could not abide to be with, therefore wast thou deservedly confined to this rock, who hadst deserved more than prison

Prospero 3. after tempest, talking with Caliban 4. refers to Caliban as slave, savage-- negative depiction of native; correlation with relationships in the new world with natives; Prospero tried to teach and help him but didnt work; separation of himself and vile race-- recognition that they arent same race again alluding to the native thing; couldnt learn, goodness wilt not take-- cant be taught to be good-- Caliban born evil? or cannot taught to be good?

Know thus far forth: by accident most strange, bountiful fortune, now my dear lady hath mine enemies brought to this shore; and by my prescience i find my zenith doth depend upon a most auspicious star whose influence if now i court not but omit my fortunes will ever after droop. Here cease more questions. thou art inclined to sleep. tis a good dullness, and give it way. I know thou canst not choose

Prospero 3. has told Miranda their story and has caused tempest 4. acknowledges power but not absolute power; fortune helped him and auspicious stars: linked to fate; took advantage of situation; hints that he can manipulate the stars, can put Miranda to sleep
