3.4

"Made demonstrable here in Cyprus to him, Hath puddled his clear spirits." (3.4.142-143)

This quote relates to the theme of both Othello and the city of Cyprus being torn between good and evil. There is a clear connection between Othello and Cyprus. When Othello is in Cyprus, he is sometimes his repected self and sometimes a twisted man corrupted by jealousy.

beshrew –verb (used with object)to curse; invoke evil upon.

perdition -noun- a state of final spiritual ruin; loss of the soul; damnation.
