 Studying Othello? Here's how you can analyze the second half of that 14-1. Whilst Othello is hiding, Iago pretends to advise Casio about how he should influence Zemona to talk to Othello. The stage directions then show that he quietly mentions Bianca's name. He quietly mentions it so that Othello, who's just within air shock, can't hear her. However, Casio clearly knows that they're both talking about Bianca, his courtesan. Casio, believing that they're speaking about Bianca, laughs and mocks her for loving him too much. Othello hears and sees Casio speaking and laughing, and he uses these verbs to basically say that he's really angry, that Casio is laughing so freely about his wife. Casio continues to mock Bianca using these exclamatory sentences. He mocks her for expecting that he will marry her, which is something he has no intention of doing. Casio continues to brag to Iago using listing here that Bianca is so emotional over him, and Othello, who's listening, is growing increasingly furious because he thinks that he's describing how Casio and Desdemona are sleeping together. As Iago and Casio are laughing and joking, Bianca enters in a fury, and this is shown through these stage directions. Bianca is furious, and she speaks using this rhetorical question, basically telling Casio to take back the handkerchief that he gave her. Othello, from where he's hiding, witnesses Bianca throwing Desdemona's handkerchief back to Casio, and Othello speaks in this exclamatory sentence, basically realizing to his horror that Casio indeed has Desdemona's handkerchief, which he had gifted to her. The stage directions show Casio chasing after Bianca, and Othello then emerges from his hiding spot. He speaks using this verb, showing that he has resolved to kill both Casio and Desdemona. Iago stokes Othello's fury even further by telling him that Desdemona gifted his handkerchief to Casio, and then Casio gave this handkerchief to his whore. Here we can see that Iago is making Othello even more jealous. Othello is overwhelmed with rage. He speaks using Rule of Three to vow that Desdemona is going to die that very night. Yet we can see that Othello still loves Desdemona. He has conflicting feelings towards her. He speaks using this hyperbole to say that Desdemona has the power to sing the savageness and the anger out of a bear. However, he still decides that he's going to have to kill her. Othello reinforces his decision to kill Desdemona in this exclamatory sentence. He mentions being a car cold, in other words being a man who is cheated on by his wife, and he believes that that's a dishonour that cannot be punished by anything other than death. As I speak in the Stay Directions show, Lodovico and Desdemona entering. Desdemona innocently mentions Casio's name, and Othello decides to deliberately argue with her. Desdemona is confused by Othello's irrational behaviour. She tries to soothe him. At these Stay Directions show, Othello lashing out in a fury as he hits her. Desdemona is confused and tearful as she wonders what she's done to deserve this horrible treatment. Othello mocks Desdemona's tears as he storms out after she has left.
