"Is this the noble Moor whom our full senate call all in all sufficient? It this the nature passion could not shake? Whose solid virtue the shot of accident not dart of chance could neither graze nor pierce?"(Shakespeare 4.1 264-268).
This passage spoken by Lodovico speaks to the immense change that has visibly taken place within Othello. While before, even a rush of emotion could not have shaken Othello's judgement, his mind is now fabricating events and jumping to wrongful conclusions. From fair, to irrational, pensive, to acting on impulse, Othello has become a different person. Even during the brief time that Lodovico has seen him, he can see the changes. Jealousy has consumed Othello and altered his mind and life permanently.
