Iagos Manipulation

20) Othello means by "it is the cause, it is the cause, my soul" that although he feels guilty because Desdemona has done such a terrible thing it is rational to kill her.

His heart is so broken he can't think of another way to mend it. He has to kill Desdemona bescause he can no longer bear the beauty and betrayal every time he...
