[00:00:01]When [music] at the beginning of the last scene, Othello approaches Desdemona's bed, [music] we see that his love is by no means extinguished.

[00:00:10]He reacts with acute sensitivity to her warm, sleeping [music] beauty, which he experiences as physically as the scent of [music] a rose, the most potent of all English flowers.

[00:00:22]This [music] speech and the death of Desdemona must surely make the most beautiful of all literary murder scenes.

[00:00:30]But when his wife lies at peace, Othello must experience the most cruel [music] torture he has so far endured.

[00:00:39]Emilia, Iago's wife, reveals the truth of [music] the situation, and Othello is the most miserable of men.

[00:00:48]A deeply religious [music] man, he looks at the murdered body and foresees his own punishment. [music] He will be condemned on the day of judgment to eternal damnation.

[00:01:01]When we [music] shall meet at compt, this look of thine will hurl my soul from heaven, and fiends will [music] snatch at it.
