How does Cassio describe desdemona? Lines 67-71

1 Answer

5 votes

In lines 67-71 of William Shakespeare's play "Othello," Cassio describes Desdemona as "a maid / That paragons description and wild fame, / One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens, / And in the essential vesture of creation / Does tire the enginer." This means that Cassio sees Desdemona as a woman who surpasses any description or reputation, and who cannot be fully captured or understood even through the most eloquent writing. He also suggests that she is so beautiful and perfect that she exhausts the abilities of any creator or artist.
In Othello, Act 2, Scene 3, lines 67-71, Cassio describes Desdemona as a gracious and virtuous lady. He praises her beauty and goodness, highlighting her kindness and admirable qualities.
