Read the extract and answer Questions 31 to 35. Zounds, sir, y' are robbed! For shame, put on your gown! Your heart is burst, you have lost half your soul. ...

The speaker in the given extract is Iago. Iago is addressing Brabantio, who is the father of Desdemona, and informing him that his daughter has eloped with Othello, a black man. Iago uses crude and vulgar language to awaken Brabantio from his sleep and accuse him of being robbed of his daughter. He says that an old black ram (Othello) is having sexual intercourse with Brabantio's white ewe (Desdemona), which is a derogatory way of describing their union. Iago urges Brabantio to wake up the citizens with the bell and prevent Othello from taking away his daughter, or else he will become a grandfather to a child born out of wedlock.
