Othello Act 4 scene 2-3

1/12/09

"Fie, there is no such man. It is impossible/"(4.2.135).

I think this quote is significant simply because it exemplifies the irony from what Iago has said. Before Iago says this Emilia, Desdemona and himself are talking about Othello and that somebody must be fooling his mind into the madness he has become. This leads into this line where Iago says that "there is no such man as this." This is ironic because he is that man who has been fooling Othello and everyone else all along.

Chide: to rebuke a person harshly.

Beshrew: to curse.
