State the similes Othello uses to describe Desdemona in their argument at the beginning of scene ii. Cite and interpret the textual evidence, which shows the personification Othello used to describe what nature does in reference to Desdemona.

Othello is pretty harsh on poor Desdemona. It is Othello's very paranoia and personal insecurities that make him use lines describing his wife's fidelity:

Oh, ay, as summer flies are in the shambles, (as faithful as flies on rotting meat)

Othello pretty much says that Desdemona is such a whore that anything pure in nature cannot bear to look upon her,

that would to cinders burn up modesty Did I but speak thy deeds. What committed? Heaven stops the nose at it and the moon winks, The bawdy wind that kisses all it meets.
