Disorder!

My kinsman, Lodovico reported me to after arriving to Cyprus earlier today to share of the news of Cassio replacing the Moor’s position. I have overheard about the general’s satanic episode when around fellow soldiers in a fit of rage. Well, as a demon would act! A vicious monster, spell-casting his prey and accusing them of such heinous things!

I will rip him into shreds for striking my daughter! I will burn him in flames hotter than his home in hell for what he has done! Lodovico told me that the creature struck her in front of him, as if she was as low as the women in the Moor’s homeland! As if her skin was as dark as his! He slapped her and called her a whore! People of Venice, do you hear the words of your precious general?

He told her to cry crocodile tears and sent her away- Lodovico, be proud that I was not in your place, or else your hands would be stained in the Moor’s blood!

I pray to the Heavens, spare my dear Desdemona and expel this demon from this world! I beg thee, or give me the strength and power to command all our armies against this true fiend!
