quotes about WOMEN
'O curse of marriage! That we can call these delicate creatures ours and not our appetites!' - Iago has convinced him that women are creatures of list with sexual 'appetites'.
whereas Emilia later says men are 'all but stomachs and we are all but food' which implies that men are in fact the ones with sexual appetites and disregard women after.
'your napkin is too little' - the handkerchief is symbolic of their love and relationship. Othello says it is 'too little' to relieve his physical pain yet is large enough to make him go insane with jealousy.
'her jesses were my dear heart strings' - his love for Des control him completely. Shows how women have some power despite attitudes toward women at the time.

The quotes that imply he wants to kill his wife reflect how he is reverting to the traditional 'moor' stereotype of a black man in elizabethan society, aggressive and violent. also 'lusty'
Othello swearing 'zounds' shows how his language has become less sophisticated like how it was before, especially shown in act 1 when he says 'Rude I am in speech' and 'Most potent, grave, reverend signiors'. His modesty and kindness has been taken over by the manipulation of Iago as Othello is also speaking like Iago.
