 Studying Othello? Here's how you can analyse the second half of that fight scene too. Emilia is horrified as she witnesses Desdemona die and Othello boldly confesses that he killed her because she was unfaithful to him. Emilia is horrified and she speaks using this simile as well as this oxymoron to defend Desdemona's character for being completely faithful to Othello. Yet Othello insists that Casio and Desdemona were having an affair and actually it was Yago who had informed him about this terrible affair. Emilia repeats this exclamatory sentence as it dawns on her that Yago is at the centre of this huge misunderstanding. She is furious as she reveals to Othello that Yago was lying about this affair. Emilia then cries out in these exclamatory sentences and the state directions show that Montano, Gratiano, Yago and others enter to investigate what's going on. Emilia then turns to Yago who has entered and she speaks in this imperative sentence telling Yago that he needs to clear Desdemona's name right there. Yago finally confesses that he did tell Othello that Desdemona was unfaithful and Emilia emphatically repeats the word lie to show that she realises her husband is a liar. Yago then tells Emilia to shut up however Emilia speaks using i-bit pentameter to state that she's not going to keep quiet, Yago has caused the death of Desdemona. Emilia then turns to Othello and tells him that he committed an unspeakable crime by killing Desdemona who was completely innocent. Othello still refuses to believe Emilia and he insists that Desdemona and Casio were having an affair and he still believes Yago. As Emilia continues to cry out defending Desdemona, Yago speaks to her in this imperative sentence telling her to shut up however Emilia uses this simile to tell Yago that she's going to reveal everything in his cruel deeds to all the men there. Emilia then informs everybody that she's the one who'd found Desdemona's handkerchief which she gave to Yago after he'd begged her to go and steal it from Desdemona. Yago grows extremely angry and abusive as he calls Emilia a whore and then the stage directions show that he stabs, kills her and then runs off. The stage directions then show Emilia singing the same song that Desdemona sang to do with the willow tree and she sings this song as she dies. Othello is horrified to realise that Desdemona was innocent this whole time and he speaks in this metaphor basically saying that he's now going to kill himself. As Othello contemplates killing himself, the stage directions show Yago re-entering after he's been captured. Othello attempts to stab Yago however Yago mocks him that he's just been stabbed but not killed. This leads Othello to speak in this oxymoron saying that living is actually worse than death. Cassio also enters and informs Othello that he is innocent and by extension Desdemona was also innocent. After being asked why he did this, Yago is defiant. He speaks in this hyperbole saying he will never speak another word again or explain himself. Othello is devastated at what he's done and he speaks using hyperbole to tell Lodovico that when he goes back to Venice to tell everybody that Othello only made a mistake in loving Desdemona too much. In his grief he kills himself. Othello's death leads Lodovico to pronounce Cassio the new Lord Governor of Cyprus and it's up to him to punish Yago.
