Othello 7

"Thy bed, lust-stained, shall with lust's blood be spotted"(Shakespeare 5.1: 36-37).

At this point of the play, Othello believes that he knows all that is occurring under his nose, when in reality it is merely a figment of his imagination. In these lines, Othello is stating how he will use his bed for the murder of Desdemona. There is a certain irony in this because he believes that he would be killing Desdemona in a place where she emotionally killed him. The very bed that he believes the sins that corrupted his love were committed in, will be the very bed where the drops of blood are shed in payment. Othello is too blinded by his growing jealousy to see the reason and ridiculousness of this all.
