I need to write a 250 word response to the monologue


That Cassio loves her, I do well believe it;
That she loves him, 'tis apt and of great credit:
The Moor, howbeit that I endure him not,
Is of a constant, loving, noble nature,
And I dare think he'll prove to Desdemona
A most dear husband. Now, I do love her too;
Not out of absolute lust, though peradventure
I stand accountant for as great a sin,
But partly led to diet my revenge,
For that I do suspect the lusty Moor
Hath leap'd into my seat; the thought whereof
Doth, like a pois'nous min'ral gnaw my inwards;
And nothing can or shall content my soul
Till I am even'd with him, wife for wife,
Or failing so, yet that I put the Moor
At least into a jealousy so strong
That judgment cannot cure. Which thing to do,
If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trash
For his quick hunting, stand the putting on,
I'll have our Michael Cassio on the hip,
Abuse him to the Moor in the rank garb—
For I fear Cassio with my night-cap too—
Make the Moor thank me, love me and reward me.
For making him egregiously an ***
And practising upon his peace and quiet
Even to madness. 'Tis here, but yet confused:
Knavery's plain face is never seen tin used.

But I don't know what I should open with. It's supposed to answer the question: How do shakespeare's choices in language and structure influence what the audience learns/understands of the charater. I'm having some serious writers block with this. Any ideas on how I should start it off?

How about this --

By borrowing and even coining words and also restructuring language so it could more than adequately express emotion, Shakespeare gave the English-speaking world a gift. That gift allows 21st-century readers to understand Iago's true feelings in this soliloquy, which summarizes the past and announces Iago's future plans.

It's a great opener, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to get this amazing answer, but thank you regardless
