Most potent, grave, and reverend signiors,
My very noble and approved good masters,
That I have ta'en away this old man's daughter,
It is most true; true, I have married her:
The very head and front of my offending
Hath this extent, no more. Rude am I in my speech,
And little bless'd with the soft phrase of peace:
For since these arms of mine had seven years' pith,
Till now some nine moons wasted, they have used
Their dearest action in the tented field,
And little of this great world can I speak,
More than pertains to feats of broil and battle,
And therefore little shall I grace my cause
In speaking for myself. Yet, by your gracious patience,
I will a round unvarnish'd tale deliver
Of my whole course of love; what drugs, what charms,
What conjuration and what mighty magic,
For such proceeding I am charged withal,
I won his daughter.
Her father loved me; oft invited me;
Still question'd me the story of my life,
From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes,
That I have passed.
I ran it through, even from my boyish days,
To the very moment that he bade me tell it;
Wherein I spake of most disastrous chances,
Of moving accidents by flood and field
Of hair-breadth scapes i' the imminent deadly breach,
Of being taken by the insolent foe
And sold to slavery, of my redemption thence
And portance in my travels' history:
Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle,
Rough quarries, rocks and hills whose heads touch heaven
It was my hint to speak,--such was the process;
And of the Cannibals that each other eat,
The Anthropophagi and men whose heads
Do grow beneath their shoulders. This to hear
Would Desdemona seriously incline:
But still the house-affairs would draw her thence:
Which ever as she could with haste dispatch,
She'ld come again, and with a greedy ear
Devour up my discourse: which I observing,
Took once a pliant hour, and found good means
To draw from her a prayer of earnest heart
That I would all my pilgrimage dilate,
Whereof by parcels she had something heard,
But not intentively: I did consent,
And often did beguile her of her tears,
When I did speak of some distressful stroke
That my youth suffer'd. My story being done,
She gave me for my pains a world of sighs:
She swore, in faith, twas strange, 'twas passing strange,
'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful:
She wish'd she had not heard it, yet she wish'd
That heaven had made her such a man: she thank'd me,
And bade me, if I had a friend that loved her,
I should but teach him how to tell my story.
And that would woo her. Upon this hint I spake:
She loved me for the dangers I had pass'd,
And I loved her that she did pity them.
This only is the witchcraft I have used:
Here comes the lady; let her witness it.

A great speech from an outstanding adaptation.
I have my English exams today and it’s about othello wish me luck guys😝🤦🏽♀️😭
Did you make it....or did Othello throttle your education? 😅
Where are you from
How did it go, did you pass?
Yeah, everything except STEM, is taught poorly but…hoped you passed, I suppose 😂😂🙄🙄
This looks better than the DVD transfer. Thanks
I missed the venecian dude saying his daughter would fall for it too 😖
Orson Wells!
nice
Welles misinterpreted this entirely. But his natural powers make it interesting anyway. He only captures the crux @ the line "mighty magic... won his daughter". Everything before is butchered. He's concerned when Othello should be indifferent. His amused contempt is misplaced. He shows it when he talks about the world, yet that's the only line where his amusement should melt away into reverence. He's showing reverence to the masters where he should show amused contempt.
When I was younger I always played Othello very much like other actors very straight as if he was in a box. But now that I am much older when I play him he is free I realized that Othello is not the most articulate man in the world. t He is a Warrior and he thinks like a Warrior yet is tender for the love of his life and so I don't try to contain the language to be so perfect I mumble slightly in certain areas and I let part of my Brooklyn accent come out and I have gotten quite good reviews from my portrayal of him.
Cut the Cannibal's part.
ofello
Great, but thank goodness they dont make up a white man to play Othello anymore!🙏🏾
This is good, but I prefer car chases and explosions.
I like both, it’s a wonderful life.
This man is a brilliant Actor but his European superciliousness ruined this scene, Othello's use of language and tone for this purpose should carry an air of surrender to humor his white faced accusers and placate their superiority complexes. Othello speaks with humility, and yet with with eloquence and grace, as he speaks lowly of himself and his accomplishments while speaking highly of said accusers. This actor's posturing and tone as seen here are confrontational and proud. As a black man Othello would know he has to toe the line in such a space.
A white man who has known no such fear or oppression as a black man in a white world would, couldnt possibly execute this scene properly. This clip is from a different era so I won't even comment on the offensive blackfacing that was opted for in lieu of a talented Black Thespian. In essence this scene was to bring to life the Jamaican axiom "when yuh hand inna tiga mouth tek time tek e out!".
Please don't attempt to deconstruct Welles, Vro. You don't have the balls, no matter what color they are.
You should listen to Wells words on race and America. He can play a black man anytime he wants as far as I’m concerned.

At that time, there were almost no 'talented black thespians' around to cast. And judging by recent experience, an awful lot of black actors are now being given roles above their playing ability. Saw one in the UK National Theatre recently actually fluff his lines like a rank amateur. It actually degrades the achievement of those actors of colour who are absolutely brilliant.
Not so much a performance, as it is a recitation.
thought orson wells was a white man
He is. It's blackface
@@clanofclams2720 Some would call it “acting”.
@@spb7883 acting... In blackface...
@@clanofclams2720 There’s a difference between Shakespeare and Amos n Andy.
@@spb7883 yes... And it is racist for a white person to perform either with their face painted black. This is not up for debate lol it's blackface. I didn't say it was a minstrel show I said it was blackface which it is. And blackface -I don't know if you know this or not- is bad.
