"Then must you speak of one that loved not wisely, but too well; of one not easily jealous, but being wrought, perplexed in the extreme . . . "
The quote at hand is from William Shakespeare's work, Othello. Othello speaks these words during his final farewell speech within the play. After realizing that he had been tricked into believing the lies of Iago, Othello realizes that he cannot candle the anguish and personal disgust of knowing that he had murdered for jealousy rather than for justice.

During his speech,...
After his speech is carried out, Othello stabs himself, successfully reaffirming his position as a figure in the text who is both part of and excluded from Venetian society at the same time. In examining the quote, one can understand that Othello was a jealous man. He was told that his wife was cheating on him and he thought that he was killing out of justice, which he believed to be a noble reason.

The play also opens with Orsino hopelessly in love with Olivia. Olivia, however, is consumed with grief for her brother, and rebuffs Orsino's attempts to woo her.

Othello Shakespeare's Skepticism: Unconditional Love in Othello Unconditional love is said by some to be the unobtainable but righteous goal of all living humans.

This violence is contrasted with Shakespeare's use of supernatural elements such as dreams and curses, because these supernatural elements grant certain characters power who would otherwise be powerless in the face of the physical violence upon which Richard and his rise to power depend (even though Richard himself shies away from
