Is it correct to say that your wife made a cuckold out of you?

Yes, that is one use of the term "cuckold", which can also be used as a verb (to make a cuckold of someone).


How do you use cuckold in a sentence?

Cuckold is a noun meaning a man who is married to an unfaithful wife. Cuckold is also a verb meaning to make a cuckold of. Example sentences: In some Greek myths, Zeus cuckolded men with beautiful wives. In Shakespeare's play, Othello was convinced that he was a cuckold. Guinevere and Lancelot cuckolded King Arthur. Only the wittol knows he is no cuckold.


What does Othello's quote The cuckold lives in Bliss mean?

I believe it is Iago's quote, actually. But what is meant is that the cuckold is free from uncertainty regarding his wife's faithfulness because he knows that she is not - the implication being that suffering the uncertainty of wondering is more terrible than knowing the bad news. In this case, Shakespeare is using the term cuckold to mean someone who already has found out the sad truth, as a cuckold is always, by definition, deceived by his wife and unaware of her sexual escapades until it is too late.The quote can be compared to John Barth's: "Only the wittol knows he is no cuckold."
