coded passage! 1/15/13

Please code the following the passage: Act III.III


O, beware, my lord, of jealously!
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;
But O, what damned minutes tells he o'er
Who dotes, yet doubts-suspects, yet fondly loves!


1) translate the lines from Iago
2) color code specific language appeals used by Iago
3) what is he saying about jealously and how it can wrong us if we let it
