Comment:        Re: SHK 15.2096 Footnotes in Bevington Othello?

I don't agree with this:

 >"Made for her" would be a distinctly forward thing for a nice /period/

Portia, who is wonderful wise, says without shame: "Beshrew your eyes, /
They have o'erlook'd me and divided me: / one half of me is yours, the
other half yours -- / Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours, /
And so all yours."
