"Her husband was very seriously ill, Sir William said. Did he threaten to kill himself?" (96)
Woolf uses Sir Williams to connect Mrs. Dalloway with Othello. Othello is a tale about a husband who is so jealous that ends up killing his wife, and later on ends up killing himself. Othello is another work by Shakespeare.

Can you help explain here -- what is Woolf suggesting about Sir Williams? Or about Septimus or Rezia for that matter? What's the bigger purpose here beyond "another work by Shakespeare?"
