Othello and Desdemona
In the final scene of Shakespeare's Othello, the main character realizes that he has been deceived into murdering his wife. Before ending his own life, he holds his beloved one last time. What was once the light of his life is now a weight pulling him down into self-willed punishment. In despair, the character states:
"Where should Othello go?
Now, how dost thou look now? O ill-starred wench!
Pale as thy smock! When we shall meet at comps,
This look of thine will hurl my soul from heaven,
And fiends will snatch at it. Cold, cold, my girl?
Even like thy chastity.
O cursèd, cursèd slave! Whip me, ye devils,
From the possession of this heavenly sight!
Blow me about in winds! roast me in sulphur!
Wash me in steep-down gulfs of liquid fire!
Oh Desdemon! dead Desdemon! dead! Oh! Oh!" - Othello, Act 5, Scene 2
