From the novel; Othello
Speaker: I think this tale would win my daughter too,
Good Brabantio, take up this mangled matter at the best
Men do their broken weapons rather use
Than their bare hands
(Act 1, Scene Three, Lines 171-174)
According to the speaker__________
-
The tale was good enough to win a woman's heart
- The fight was unnecessary
- The charges were a waste of time
- There were other matters demanding the attention of the Senate
