" 'Twill out, 'twill out: I peace!
No, I will speak as liberal as the north:
Let heaven and men and devils, let them all,
All, all, cry shame against me, yet I'll speak. "
This is my favourite quote in Shakespeare's Othello because Emilia has finally pushed to expose the truth instead of making conclusions in her own head, like Othello, or fabricating evidence, like Iago. Emilia, the character Shakespeare protrayed throughout the play previously to be so quiet and compliant, is now shown to have snapped, as if the truth is a force that cannot be contained forever.
