Annotation:
	Discusses Iago's refusal to reveal the motive for his deeds at the end of Othello, focusing on the "unfitness and inappropriateness of Iago's last words," which would have been expected by an early modern audience of a revenge tragedy. Attempts "by joining an awareness of the semantic and epistemic pressures being placed on the concept of 'confession' in this period with attention to the lived, bodily experience of hearing and speaking . . . to uncover what it might have felt like to have heard Iago's silence."
