Is there anything wrong with that? Isn’t he honest?’ ‘When you were wooing my lady, did Cassio know of your love?’ And when I love you not it will be a return to chaos.’ He stood staring at the closed door. ‘See? Whatever you want of me I’ll give you.’ ‘Come Emilia.’ Desdemona paused at the door. ‘Goodbye, my Desdemona, I’ll come to you soon.’ ‘Would I deny you that? No, goodbye, my lord.’ ‘But I do beg you to give me one thing that is to give me a little time to myself.’ No, when there’s something I want out of love it will be more complex and tricky for you and difficult to grant.’ It’s as though I would ask you to wear your gloves or eat nourishing food, or keep yourself warm, or ask you to do something in your own interest. ‘Please, no more he can come whenever he likes. To have so much of a to-do to re-instate him?’
What! Michael Cassio, who came wooing with you? And so many times, when I have spoken critically of you, has taken your side. I wonder what you would ask me that I would deny you, or stand hesitating like this. I’m telling you, he’s penitent, even though his offence can’t be considered something to warrant a serious punishment, although I can understand that because it’s wartime he should set an example.’ She stroked his beard. I beg of you, name the time, but don’t let it exceed three days. ‘Come on, tomorrow night or Tuesday morning, or Tuesday noon, or night on Wednesday night. I’m meeting the captains at the citadel.’ĭesdemona put her arms around his neck. If I have any power to influence you, accept his apology because if he isn’t a man who truly loves you and only errs in ignorance and not out of malice then I’m no judge of honesty. I’ve just been talking to a petitioner here – someone who’s languishing in your displeasure.’ I can’t believe Cassio would sneak away so guiltily, seeing you coming.’ĭesdemona walked across the room to them. ‘Wasn’t that Cassio just leaving my wife?’ ‘Well, if you insist,’ she said, as he left by the other door. I’m very uneasy – I don’t feel up to it.’ ‘Madam, I’ll go now,’ he said and stood up. ‘Madam,’ she said, ‘here comes my lord.’Ĭassio looked uncomfortable. So, cheer up, Cassio, because your advocate will die rather than give up.’Įmilia glanced towards the door. I’ll intermingle everything heĭoes with Cassio’s suit. His bed will be like a school and his dinner table a confessional. I’ll keep my eye on it and talk him to death. Be sure that if I say I’ll do something I’ll do it to the last letter. ‘In front of Emilia I promise you your place. ‘Yes, but that diplomacy might last so long, or become so watered down, or be overtaken by events, so that I not being there, and someone else taking my place, my General will forget me.’ You’ve known him a long time and it’s certain that he won’t distance himself more than is diplomatically necessary.’Ĭassio frowned. ‘Whatever happens to Michael Cassio, he will always be your true servant.’ĭesdemona squeezed his hand. ‘Don’t worry, Cassio, I’ll make sure that you and my husband are as friendly as you were.’ ‘Oh, that’s an honest fellow!’ said Desdemona.
‘I know this has upset my husband as if it were he this has happened to.’ ‘You can be sure, good Cassio,’ Desdemona was saying, ‘I’ll do everything I can for you.’ Each Shakespeare’s play name links to a range of resources about each play: Character summaries, plot outlines, example essays and famous quotes, soliloquies and monologues: All’s Well That Ends Well Antony and Cleopatra As You Like It The Comedy of Errors Coriolanus Cymbeline Hamlet Henry IV Part 1 Henry IV Part 2 Henry VIII Henry VI Part 1 Henry VI Part 2 Henry VI Part 3 Henry V Julius Caesar King John King Lear Loves Labour’s Lost Macbeth Measure for Measure The Merchant of Venice The Merry Wives of Windsor A Midsummer Night’s Dream Much Ado About Nothing Othello Pericles Richard II Richard III Romeo & Juliet The Taming of the Shrew The Tempest Timon of Athens Titus Andronicus Troilus & Cressida Twelfth Night The Two Gentlemen of Verona The Winter’s TaleĮmilia, Desdemona and Cassio sat in the state reception room.
