O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;
But O, what damned minutes tells he o'er
Who dotes, yet doubts-suspects, yet fondly loves!
Translation: Iago warns Othello of the trap of jealously. Jealousy is the green eyed monster that devours not only the the person who is jealous and the person envied. The man or husband with an adulterous wife who knows his wife is unfaithful or who has betrayed him can and should take comfort in knowing the truth so that he won't continue to love or trust her or become friends with her lover. A man who continues to love and dote on an unfaithful wife, even though he may doubt and suspect her to be unfaithful, is wasting his time on the relationship.

What Iago is saying about jealousy:
Iago is saying that jealousy is a two edged sword that devours not only the person who is jealous but the person who is envied as well. Jealousy feeds on itself and will mock and imitate both itself and the sufferer of jealousy. It is its own punishment and is self-devouring of the person who is jealous.

Anticipation Guide Statement Response And Questions
Statement Response
A person's love can be gained through material wealth.
This statement regards whether a person's love can be bought through money and objects. Many people have tried to find love this way, and have not usually had a good outcome. This is because our culture has placed an overemphasis on material wealth versus honesty, commitment, and selflessness. I believe that a persons love cannot be bought through material wealth because the person ends up loving the things you buy for them, and not actually loving you. Although some people try to find love this way, I would say that most people have learned that this is not the right way to go about finding happiness in your life.
Questions
1. Venice is in Italy, and it was epicenter in Europe for both art, music, and finance in the 16th century. Venice was doing very well economically in the 15th and early to mid 16th century, however began an economic towards the end of the 16th century.
2. Cyprus is in the Mediterranean Sea and is South east of Greece, and South of Turkey. Cyprus was important because it had strategic importance as a possible base against Turkey. Since ancient times it had been an important source of copper, so much so that the name of the island is the same word as "copper". Ottoman troops captured Cyprus in the sixteenth century and it remains divided between the Greek dominated Republic of Cyprus and a Turkish Cypriot North Cyprus.

"Easter 1916" Stanza 4 Coding
Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?
That is Heaven's part, our part
To Murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child.
When sleep at last has come
On limbs that had run wild.
What is it but nightfall?
No, no, not night but death;
Was it needless death after all?
For England may keep faith
For all that is done and said.
We know their dream; enough
To know they dreamed and are dead;
And what if excess of love
Bewildered them till they died?
I write it out in a verse -
MacDonagh and MacBride
And Connolly and Pearse
Now and in time to be,
Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

The 4th stanza of W.B. Yeat's poem Easter 1916 describes the unsuccessful and bloody uprising in Ireland
of the Irish people against British rule and years of colonization by England. The Irish revolutionaries that were involved in the uprising for independence were swiftly accused of treason and brutally executed as traitors against the British crown in April 1916. The execution of these Irish patriots shocked and saddened both Yeats and the Irish people. Yeats questions the death of those patriots repeatedly in the stanza, as stated in line 10. "No, no, not night but death; Was it needless death after all?" This poem reflects Yeats' thoughts and feelings regarding the death and sacrifice of so many. As stated in line 12, "For England may keep faith for all that is done and said. We know their dream; enough to know they dreamed and are dead." Throughout the 4th stanza, though he knows that nothing can change their deaths, he questions the purpose of the sacrifice and the emotional and physical cost for those fighting for their freedom. In the 4th stanza he also states that it will be heaven's role to determine when the bloodshed and death will end while it is the duty of those left behind to continue the fight for freedom, never forgetting the names and sacrifices made by those who gave their lives for Irish independence. The final seven lines in this stanza is a personal tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for Ireland. To lay their spirits to rest, "As a mother names her child when sleep has finally come." To also remember the dreams and ambitions of the revolutionaries and to carry on their cause, never forgetting their names or their purpose.
