"' if it were now to die 'twere now to be most happy.' That was her feeling- Othello's' feeling, and she felt it, she was convinced, as strongly as Shakespeare meant Othello to feel it, all because she was coming down to dinner in a white frock to meet Sally Seton" (Woolf, 35).
Othello was written by William Shakespeare in the early seventeenth century. It tells of Othello, who wooed himself a wife. He did this by telling her of his adventures in war. Clarissa felt as though she had to woo Sally, much as Othello did his wife. Not only does this help support Clarissa's love for women, but it also strengthens the bond between Clarissa and Septimus.
