ROBERTSON RETAINED BLANCA.

How convince Othello that the wife whom he
worships purity itself is foul. that the friend
who has had his complete confidence is false?-
nay, how convince him of this so entirely that
he will not even be at the pains To ask just
the two simple questions of the accused
which will at expose the lie? He had to
make the audience think-"this poor wretch has
wrongly believed his wife to be guilty, and has
killed both her and himself. but in the circum-
stances he bound to SO believe On that
condition alone could he retain sympathy for
Othello. Now, there were two ways of doing
this-by making Othello hear things
which he would inevitably misunderstood G- e.
by leading him to draw false differences from
facts presented to his notice.. and by making
him believe, without further inquiry. the state
ments of some third person. AS regards the
first it may be said that the Blanca episode is
absolutely essential to any intelligent repre-
sentatiOn of the tragedy, and that of all the in
defensible liberties taken with Shakespeare none
is than it's omission from the scene 1t
is the sight of the handkerchief in Blanca s
hand that to some extent excuses Othellos blind
confidence in the Ancient. because it affords
ocular corrobOratiOn of the story he has been
ready to believe. Not the least merit of Mr-
