"Had it pleased in heaven to try me with affliction, had they rained all kinds of sores and shames on my bare head, steeped me in poverty to the very lips, given to captivity me and my utmost hopes, I should have found in some place of my soul a drop of patience" (Shakespeare Pg. 987)
I think this moment in the play is important because Othello is reaching his breaking point and confronting Desdemona about his suspicions. The quote really sums up Othellos state of mind and illustrates just how depressed and angry he is at that very moment, and the reader gets a faint glimpse that things are about to get worse...
