"Oh, devil, devil! If that the earth could teem with woman's tears, Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile. Out of my sight! - 4.1 Line 250-253
This line directly follows Othello striking Desdemona. Analyzing this line, Othello is trying to say that Desdemona is a liar. This violent and vocal outburst also directly follows one of Othello's epileptic attacks. This line proves that Iago's plan is working effectively because Othello was angry enough to strike Desdemona! A few scenes back Othello would probably kill himself at the very idea!
Comment on Blake's blog:
Thinking for yourself that a character has changed in a play is inference. Hearing another character in the same play state that a character has changed is proof!
