"He is my bf!"
"No, he is my bf!" ---> about jealousy
"Okay, you take him then"
"Thank you!" -----> about friendship (i.e. love)

"Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul
But I do love thee; and when I love thee not,
Chaos is come again" - A3 S3 lines 90-92

A3 S3 Lines 179-195

come to think of it, most Act 3 Scene 3 is pretty good.

> "I hate the moor" - Iago says this, could be argued that Iago's jealousy of Othello's military rank and social status underpins this hatred

> Not sure exactly what the quote is but its something along the lines of 'watch out for jealousy, it is the green-eyed monster' (not exactly it) - Iago says this (I think) which is prophetic irony and hypocrisy on Iago's behalf (as it is Iago who is jealous of Othello but scapegoats innocent victims (Desdemona, Cassio etc) to cause the ultimate ruination of all their lives)

> 'I won his daughter' (not sure if those are the exact words): Othello says this early in the play in defence of allegations that he has stolen and abused Desdemona without her consent, Othello then goes on to justify this point with an eloquent and elaborate description of how Desdemona loved to hear the military events in Othello's life - Othello then finishes with a heartfelt statement of affection for Des and a rhetorical question in personal defence --> essentially saying 'I love Dessy; what other witchcraft could I have used?"

I think -

> "I hate the Moor" - Act 1 - middleish

> "green eyed monster" - Act 3 or 4

> "I won his daughter" and "I love Desdemona etc, solioquy" is Act 1 too
