Speaker Y's speech shows that
- A. Cassio is to blame
- B. Emilia is to blame
- C. he is unrepentantCorrect
- D. she is regretful
Explanation
Speaker Y's (Othello's) speech shows that he is unrepentant. This is evident in the speech: "...Iago knows that she with Cassio hath the act of shame/ A thousand times committed. Cassio confessed it/ And she did gratify his amorous works". He has no reason to feel sorry for what he just happened. He thinks Desdemona deserved the death. He is oblivious of Cassio and Iago's innocence and the culpability of Iago.
