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!
