I will make thee think thy swan a crow.

Summary

This quote is from William Shakespeare's play, "Othello," and it is spoken by the character Iago. In this context, Iago is revealing his devious intentions to manipulate Othello's perception of reality. The quote suggests that Iago plans to cleverly deceive Othello by distorting his perception of what is virtuous and true. By comparing Othello's beloved Desdemona (symbolized as a swan, a graceful and noble creature) to a crow (a dark and unattractive bird), Iago aims to cast doubt and make Othello think the worst of his wife. It highlights the sinister nature of Iago's plot and his skill in manipulating others.
