Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation. Thanks to my bad behavior last night at the celebration party. With Iago’s encouraging drinking songs and the fine ale provided I became wild. I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking. I should have been more aware of my actions, although it wasn’t entirely my fault. I suspect that Roderigo purposely provoked me and intended me to misbehave. I never wanted to injure Montano, he’s a good friend of mine. Alas, with my mistake I lost my lieutenancy and all of Othello’s respect.
I should at least be happy for the safe arrival of our troops, I was very worried before they came. Yet, with tall the celebrations of parties, I never thought that this would happen. Never have I acted this way before, this atmosphere combined with the ale makes me drunk beyond all control.
To my surprise, Iago is being very kind and supportive; I regret judging him from the beginning. He’s been nothing but sympathetic and keeps encouraging me to talk to Desdemona. He says that I must speak with her and explain my problem, and she’ll pass it on to Othello. This idea seems foolproof! Desdemona is in fact our captain’s captain. I plan on talking to Desdemona today, hopefully Othello will be nowhere in sight. I have embarrassed myself and want to hide my face. I know Iago understands, and Desdemona is bound to as well. She is always so sensitive and defends what she believes is right.
I must go prepare myself for this difficult task ahead.
