Iago: I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs.
Brabantio: Thou art a villain.
Iago: You are- a senator.
Brabantio: This thou shalt answer. I know thee, Roderigo.
I really like this line. Even though this play is extremely hard to follow and extremely hard to read, this line helps the reader connect to the story. When Iago first makes a rude remark, Brabantio says "Thou art a villain," which was sounds like an insult but also a quick reaction to what Iago first said to him. Then Iago comes back with "You are- a senator," which I find to be extremely funny. Just looking at this without looking below to see what it means, the reader should have already understood what was meant by this. These days, it means the same thing as it did back then. I found this to just be very funny and made me understand the play that much more since I was struggling thoughout it to understand it. I had to look below after almost every line to understand the jargon.
