Act IV Questions

IAGO
The lethargy must have his quiet course. 55

A huswife that by selling her desires
Buys herself bread and clothes. It is a creature
That dotes on Cassio—as ’tis the strumpet’s plague
To beguile many and be beguiled by one.
He, when he hears of her, cannot restrain 100
From the excess of laughter. Here he comes.
Enter Cassio.
As he shall smile, Othello shall go mad,
And his unbookish jealousy must construe
Poor Cassio’s smiles, gestures, and light behaviors
Quite in the wrong.—How do you, lieutenant? 105

Of so high and plenteous wit and invention! 192

3) In act IV Scene I lines 189-192, Othello uses a metaphor to compare Desdemona to a a. Bear because she is so savage b. Musician because she is able to orchestrate many acts c. Needle because she is very sharp d. Fox because she is sly and cunning e. Cat because she is stealthy and secretive
