Emelia is very upset and is shouting her condemnation of Othello:
The Moor’s abused by some most villainous knave, Some base notorious knave, some scurvy fellow. O heavens, that such companions thou’dst unfold, And put in every honest hand a whip To lash the rascals naked through the world Even from the east to th' west! Iago does not want anyone to hear this because it can ruin his plan.
