Stormy Skies of Sarcasm

“Reputation is an idle and most false

imposition, oft got without merit and lost without

deserving. You have lost no reputation at all, unless you

repute yourself such a loser. What, man! there are more

ways to recover the general again. You are but now cast in

his mood, a punishment more in policy than in malice,

even so as one would beat his offenseless dog to affright

an imperious lion. Sue to him again, and he’s yours.”

(Othello 2.3.265-272).
