" Act 1, Scene 1, Roderigo

• "Thou toldst me thou didst hold him in thy hate."
• Basically the quote is letting us know that Roderigo hates Othello because he gave Cassio the positon of a lieutenancy instead of Iago.
• This quote can be connected to the theme "love" because the opposite of love is hate. Roderigo used to have love for Othello now he hates him. But, Why? I think he hates him because Roderigo and Iago are friends, so its kind of like a friendship thing. If someone does something to your closest friend you are not going to like them because of the fact your closer to your buddy than the other person.
• Tush: An expression of impatience.
• Why would Othello choose Cassio to be lieutant instead of Roderigo? Would Roderigo payback his revenge for what Othello had done to him?
