Q1
IAGO: That Cassio loves her, I do well believe't:
That she loues him, 'tis apt, and of great Credite.
The Moore (howbeit that I endure him not)
Is of a constant, loving, Noble Nature,
And I dare thinke, he’ll prove to Desdemona
A most dear husband. Now I do love her too,
Not out of absolute Lust, (though peradventure
I stand accomptant for as great a sin)
But partly led to dyet my Revenge,
For that I do suspect the lustie Moore
Hath leap'd into my Seat. The thought whereof,
Doth (like a poysonous Minerall) gnaw my Inwardes:
And nothing can, or shall content my Soule
Till I am even'd with him, wife, for wife.
From which Shakespearean play is this monologue taken?
