Read this excerpt from Othello and analyze it closely. Discuss the impact of PREMSHO when writing the close reading journal.

Poetry or prose?

Rhymed or blank verse?

End-stopped or run-on?

Meter?

Sounds?

Homophonic devices (i.e. puns, verbal echoes)?

Other words suggested by the language? 

 

Iago: And whatâs he then that says I play the villain?

When this advice is free I give and honest,

Probal to thinking and indeed the course

To win the Moor again? For âtis most easy

Th' inclining Desdemona to subdue

In any honest suit. Sheâs framed as fruitful

As the free elements: and then for her

To win the Moor, were to renounce his baptism,

All seals and symbols of redeemed sin,

His soul is so enfettered to her love

That she may make, unmake, do what she list,

Even as her appetite shall play the god

With his weak function. How am I then a villain

To counsel Cassio to this parallel course,

Directly to his good? Divinity of hell!

When devils will the blackest sins put on

They do suggest at first with heavenly shows

As I do now. For whiles this honest fool

Plies Desdemona to repair his fortune,

And she for him pleads strongly to the Moorâ

Iâll pour this pestilence into his ear:

That she repeals him for her bodyâs lust.

And by how much she strives to do him good

She shall undo her credit with the Moor.

So will I turn her virtue into pitch

And out of her own goodness make the net

That shall enmesh them all. 

 

context: Iago convinced Cassio that it is a good idea to get close with Desdemona so she can help him get his position back, and he is mapping out his plan and using peopleâs honor to his advantage.
