Othello 5.2

"Look on the tragic loading of this bed.\This is thy work. The object poisons sight;\Let it be hid." (5.2.359-361)

Lodovico here is reprimanding Iago for his actions. This quote stuck out the most for me because, although Iago led to Desdemona's death and Othello's suicide and killed Emilia, he's only getting lectured. There's no real punishment or anything going on, he's just getting away with it.

wrought: (v) Work

amorous: (adj) inclined to love
