Number of words: 1135 | Number of pages: 5.... Cassio of his Lieutenancy when he says: "Cassio, I love thee,/ But
nevermore be officer of mine" (II.iii.242-244). It was therefore understandable
that he would fall to the mercy of Iago, completely oblivious to the inevitable
effects. Iago reveals his plan to the reader in his third soliloquy when he
states:
His soul is so unfettered to her love,

A Letter To Shakespeare
Number of words: 611 | Number of pages: 3.... sorrow," although that is very dramatic,
she could just say something like, "I wish you didn't have to go so soon."
Another part that I noticed was in the scene where Mercutio was
insulting Tybalt, right before they fought in the streets of Verona. Mercutio
