 Studying Othello? Here's how you can analyse the second half of that three scene four. Once Othello storms off in a rage, Amelia asks this rhetorical question, showing that she's appalled by his behaviour. As they are speaking, the stage directions show that Casio and Iago arrive. Casio informs Desdemona that not much has changed and he begs her to influence Othello. Yet Desdemona acts really crestfallen. She tells Casio that she's not sure she can do very much and she speaks using repetition to say that Othello has been really off with her. He's really mad at her. Iago is secretly happy to hear that Othello is furious and he asks these rhetorical questions and he repeats them to show that he's starting to take glee in the fact that Othello is really mad at Desdemona. Yet Desdemona continues to have faith in Othello and she gives him the benefit of the doubt through using sibilance here. She assumes that he's just really angry at her because something in his job is stressing him out. Yet Amelia thinks otherwise. This is the repetition of the word jealous to reinforce this theme. In other words, she casts doubt on Othello's character and she believes his jealousy could become really lethal. The stage directions then reveal Desdemona and Amelia leave and Bianca enters to speak to Casio. Bear in mind that Bianca is a courtesan, in other words, a prostitute for high class and upper class men. We can see Casio is very smooth and quite charming when speaking to Bianca. He speaks using these flattering adjectives to tell her that she's basically just about to come and visit her at her house. Yet Bianca is furious. We can see she speaks in these rhetorical questions basically saying that Casio has been ignoring her for a long time. Even if she's a courtesan, we can see that she's clearly attached to Casio. However, he's basically ghosted her for a while and she feels really jealous about this. Yet Casio sweet talks her out of her anger using sibilance. The stage directions show that he proceeds to give her Desdemona's handkerchief which she found in his lodgings. Yet Bianca grows even more jealous when she sees this handkerchief. She asks if it's from a newer friend. She uses this euphemism to hint that she's wondering whether Casio was given this handkerchief but yet another courtesan. We see a very different side to Casio when he replies to Bianca with this exclamatory sentence. He basically dismisses her jealousy and her concern about seeing other women. Casio then speaks using this imperative sentence to tell Bianca that he really likes this handkerchief. He doesn't know where it's from and he's going to return it to wherever it's from. However, he first wants her to stitch a very similar looking handkerchief before he returns it. Bianca is clearly besotted by Casio. She decides to do as she's told and she speaks using sibilance here to ask him whether she's going to see him that very night. Casio does not commit to anything. He speaks quite evasively here. Basically telling Bianca that he will see her soon. He doesn't specifically tell her when he's going to come and call on her but he promises to see her soon.
