Book Description
Excerpt from Othello: An Historical and Comparative Study Fumess, Variorum Othello, p. 422, where Heraud infers from the scene in which Othello throws his purse to Emilia that he had indeed poured his treasures into foreign laps, had been no celibate, and by this inlet had suffered suspicion and jealousy to enter in. One wonders how many of Shakespeare's unmarried heroes would have turned out to be celibate had the poet been interested enough to say. The question troubled Dumas fits in so far as it concerned the heroes of Moliere. For big or little, Dumas or Heraud, it has great importance today. But for Moliere or Shakespeare the question would probably have been, not whether the character was chaste or celibate, but whether he was an ascetic or a libertine.
