Original Text	Modern Text
EMILIA She said so. I must needs report the truth.	EMILIA Yes, she said that. I must go report what happened.
OTHELLO She’s like a liar gone to burning hell. 'Twas I that killed her.	OTHELLO She was lying even as she was going down to hell. I did kill her.
EMILIA Oh, the more angel she, 145And you the blacker devil!	EMILIA Then she was even more an angel, and you’re an even blacker devil!
OTHELLO She turned to folly, and she was a whore.	OTHELLO She cheated on me, and she was a whore.
EMILIA Thou dost belie her, and thou art a devil.	EMILIA You slander her, you devil.
OTHELLO She was false as water.	OTHELLO She was fickle and unfaithful, like water.
EMILIA Thou art rash as fire, To say that she was false. Oh, she was heavenly true!	EMILIA You’ve lost your mind to accuse her of cheating. She was utterly true to you!
OTHELLO 150Cassio did top her, ask thy husband else. Oh, I were damned beneath all depth in hell, But that I did proceed upon just grounds To this extremity. Thy husband knew it all.	OTHELLO Cassio had sex with her. Ask your husband if you doubt me. If I didn’t have a good reason to do this, damn me to the very bottom of hell. Your husband knew about everything.
EMILIA My husband!	EMILIA My husband!
OTHELLO Thy husband.	OTHELLO Your husband.
EMILIA That she was false to wedlock?	EMILIA He said she was unfaithful?
OTHELLO 155Ay, with Cassio. Had she been true, If heaven would make me such another world Of one entire and perfect chrysolite, I’d not have sold her for it.	OTHELLO Yes, with Cassio. If she’d been faithful to me, I never would have given her up, not even if God himself offered me a jewel as big as a planet in exchange for her.
EMILIA My husband?	EMILIA My husband.
