Act 3 scene 3 othello5/4/2023 Please, name the time that you will be reconciled with Cassio, but let it not exceed three days. “Why, then, tomorrow night, or Tuesday morning, or Tuesday noon, or Tuesday night, or Wednesday morning. “I shall not dine at home I am meeting the captains at the citadel.” “He was so mournful that he left part of his grief with me, and I suffer with him. “Was that Cassio who left just now?” Othello asked. Please, call him back and be reconciled with him.” For if he is not someone who truly respects you, someone who has erred in ignorance and not on purpose, then I cannot judge who is honest. “My good lord, if I have any grace or power to move you, please be reconciled with him immediately. “Why, your lieutenant, Cassio,” Desdemona replied. “I have been talking with a man here, a man who languishes because you are displeased with him.” “How are you, my lord?” Desdemona greeted Othello. “I do believe that it was Cassio,” Othello said. Why would he steal away so guilty-like when he saw that you were coming?” “Wasn’t that Cassio who just left my wife?” Othello asked. “Nothing, my lord, but - I don’t know what I was saying.” Iago saw Cassio and said, quietly but deliberately loud enough for Othello to hear, “I don’t like that.” “Well, do what you think best,” Desdemona said. “I am very ill at ease, and I am not prepared to plead to be reinstated.” “Why, stay, and hear me speak to my husband about you,” she replied. I will be the lawyer who pleads your case to Othello, and I would rather die than give up your cause.”Įmilia saw Othello and her husband, Iago, entering the garden, and said, “Madam, here comes my lord.”Ĭassio said to Desdemona, “Madam, I’ll leave now.” Whatever he does, I will bring up Cassio’s petition to be reinstated as lieutenant. His bed shall seem like a school because of the lectures that I will give him, and when he eats his meals he will think that it is as if he were a priest hearing a long confession. I will talk to him and nag him until he grows impatient. I assure you that if I promise to do something for a friend that I will do everything that I have promised.” She joked, “My husband will never rest: I’ll keep him awake just like I were taming a hawk. “With Emilia as a witness, I promise you that you will regain your position as lieutenant. “Yes,” Cassio said, “but, lady, that political expediency may either continue so long, or continue because of weak and trivial reasons, or continue because of accidental, unrelated political events, that with myself absent and with someone else filling in as lieutenant, the general will forget his and my friendship and my service to him.” Be well assured that he shall be estranged from you no longer than is politically expedient. “Generous madam,” Cassio said, “whatever shall become of Michael Cassio, he will never be anything but your true servant.” “Do not doubt, Cassio, that I will soon have my husband and you together again as friendly to each other as you were before.” “I know that Cassio’s misfortune grieves my husband, Iago, as badly as if it had happened to him.” Emilia was serving as Desdemona’s chaperone.ĭesdemona said, “Be assured, good Cassio, that I will do everything I can to help you regain your position as lieutenant.” In the garden of the castle, Desdemona, Cassio, and Emilia were talking.
