Iago [to Othello]

Original- “Not to affect many proposed matches of her own clime, complexion and degree...”

Modern- “If I can be frank with you, she veered away from her own nature in turning down all those young men from her own country, with her skin colour and her status."



This is showing racism because Iago is saying that Othello almost isn't good enough, why would she exclude herself away from people of her own status and even her skin color just to be with the Moor.
