Meat Loaf is a musical artist that was somewhat popular in the late 70's and early 80's and made a comeback in 1990. His most popular song is I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That). This song relates to the character Othello from Shakespearre's play Othello. In the song by Meat Loaf, he says that he would do anything for love, except one thing. The one thing is that he would never leave or lie to or cheat on or forget the girl he loves. I think that Othello can relate to the line, "I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that." However, his "that" is different from Meat Loaf's. Othello's "that" is allow a girl to be unfaithful to him. He would have done anything for Desdemona and went out of his way to get her to marry him, because he loved her so much. But, with the slightest clue that Desdemona was cheating on him, without even real proof, Othello went over board. He would do anything for love, but he wouldn't let a girl cheat on him and live. Othello killed Desdemona for this even though she wasn't really unfaithful. This clearly was one of Othello's breaking points that he did not take lightly. Sorry Desdemona, Othello would do anything for love, but he won't do that.
