So in the play Cymbeline, right, when Iachimo is all like, “hey, dude, i know you just met me and all, but i bet i can seduce your wife and make her cheat on you with me,” Posthumus takes that bet?! wtf?

and then when Iachimo comes back with Imogen’s bracelet and describes her bedroom and the mole on her breast, that’s enough proof?? madness.

i would have automatically assumed he stole the bracelet and peeped at her when she was naked in her bedroom. which he did! creep.

but i guess pre-audio/video recording and DNA, this was all you had. not unless there were like eyewitnesses of course. but then again, Iachimo could have easily paid off some extras to corroborate his story.

which brings me back to my original question, why take this bet at all? Pothumus the fool.
