She was here even now; she haunts me in every place. I was the other day talking on the sea-bank with certain Venetians; and thither comes the bauble, and, by this hand, she falls me thus about my neck.
– William Shakespeare
Othello, Act 4, Scene 1. Cassio talks disrespectfully and misogynistically about Bianca to Iago. Using the insulting metaphor of "bauble," he compares her to a cheap piece of jewelry. From the way Bianca pursues Cassio everywhere – "haunts me in every place" – she appears to genuinely love him. But Cassio far from loving her back finds her annoying and wants to get rid of her.
