Today’s Totally Random
Lines
I kist thee, ere I killed thee: no way but
this,
[falling upon DESDEMONA]
Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. [Dies]
Othello
Othello Act V, Scene ii, Line 360
There you have Othello’s last words, and nearly the last words of the play, as he stabs himself and dies upon Desemona's body.
Cassio and Lodovico have a few more words to say, but nothing as
final as Othello’s utterances. Here, why don’t I give you the rest, to the
end of the play.
Cassio
This did I fear, but thought he had no
weapon;
For he was great of heart.
Lodovico [to Iago]
More fell than anguish, hunger, or the
sea!
Look on the tragic loading of this bed;
This is thy work: the object poisons
sight;
Let it be hid. Gratiano, keep the house,
And seize upon the fortunes of the Moor,
For they succeed on you. To you, lord
governor,
Remains the censure of this hellish villain;
The time, the place, the torture. O,
enforce it!
Myself will straight aboard, and to the
state
This heavy act with heavy heart relate. [Exeunt]
It almost seems
like Will should have ended with Othello’s words, don't you think? Oops, there I go again,
trying to improve upon Will’s work.
You can’t edit the words of William Shakespeare, Mr. Blagys.
I know Mojo, I know. I just get a little carried away sometimes.
