Othello
[to Iago]
Original-
“Her name, that was so fresh as Dian's visage, is now begrimmed and
black as min own face”
Modern-
“Her reputation was as pure as the snow, but now it's dirty and
black like my own face.”
Othello is now referring to Desdemona's actions [cheating on him] and saying that her actions are dark like his skin color.
*Rhetorical device: simile!
