He is quick of im marking malice in even the most mundane, casual encounters. For instance, Iago plans to make a pile come forth of the molehill that Cassio was able to briefly, hold unwrap with Desdemona while on board the ship. Iago is excessively chauvinistic for the most part of the melt and appears to read a dislike for women in general as revealed by his condescend barrages of insults towards Emilia and Desdemona.Iagos general dislike for women may come from the fact that he suspects Othello of having an office with his married woman. His grammeghts are revealed in the impart and there is constant revelation that he wants his revenge wife for wife. This reveals a concealed lust for Desdemona born step up of his baseless jealousy. Iago continues his pursuit to ruin the consanguinity of Othello and Desdemona, as is witnessed in Iagos speeches to Othello,Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see She has deceived her father, and may theeMy flavour upon her faith Honest Iago (Shakespeare I, iii 333-5).He also has a plan to draw Cassio into performing actions that would dishonor him and possibly urinate Othello to rethink his promotion of Cassio, as Iago states of himself in this matter, Were I the Moor, I would not be Iago In follow up oning him, I follow but myself But I leave alone wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to commode at I am not what I am (Shakespeare I, I 63-71). Iago succeeds in this endeavor by subtly make a commotion which causes Cassio to lose his indifference and accidentally stab Montano, the governor. This costs Cassio his define as lieutenant.While alone with Othello, Iago implies the contingency that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio. Iago manages to persuade Othello to doubt Desdemonas loyalty and love for him. He tells Othello to almost examine his wifes actions when she is with Cassio. These are just among the many webs of lies and deceit that he manages weave in his attempts to settle score with Othello and Cassio. Othellos graduation gift to Desdemona was a hanky. This supposedly trivial object afterwardwards becomes the piece of evidence that Iago uses to destroy Othellos marriage. single evening, as Desdemona and Emilia tell Othello that dinner is ready, Othello complains of a headache. Desdemona promptly offers her hanky to bind his head to relieve the pain. Othello comments that the handkerchief is as well small and pushes it a port. Desdemona unknowingly loses take of the handkerchief as she and Othello walk stunned of the room. Emilia picks up the handkerchief, remembering that Iago had asked her a number of times to steal it, she is cheerful at the prospect of surprising her conserve.At the same time as Iago was to plant Desdemonas handkerchief in Cassios room, Othello who discovers his plot is infuriated and exclaims that he d rather witness deception first hand than assume infidelity without decisive evidence. At this top dog, Iago, ever the manipulator, manages to get his way again by fabricating another trading floor that Cassio once called out Desdemonas seduce in his sleep and that Cassio acted as if he were kissing Desdemona. Iago reinforced his claim by claiming to have seen Cassio wipe his beard with the handkerchief.This enrages Othello and he vows to seek revenge on Cassio and Desdemona for the supposed infidelity. Once again, Iago succeeds and even manages to get promoted to lieutenant. In the play, Desdemonas handkerchief is the type of devotion and later in the play the symbol of truth. All the speculations around Desdemonas assert relationship with Cassio has created a lot of squabble for Othello and Desdemona. Othello has become very unhappy and has begun mistreating Desdemona. One evening after dinner, Othello goes on a walk with Lodovico and sends Desdemona to bed.As Desdemona gets ready, she and Emilia job on how different her life would be like if she had not met Othello. Desdemona sings the willow tree vocal, a song that she learned from her mothers maid who sang the same song when the man she love left her. The Willow song is the symbol of acceptance of her luck that the man whom she loved had left her. onward telling Emilia roughly the myth behind the Willow song, she had remarked on the attraction of Lodovico. She also This suggests that after the bad things that have happened between Desdemona and her husband, committing adultery had somehow entered her mind.She saying adultery as an option to take away her from the pain that her husband is neglecting and mistreating her. Iago has persuaded Roderigo to go after Cassio with the web of lies that he had weaved about Cassio and Desdemonas alleged affair. Iago had once again managed to incline Roderigo with his lies to the point that Roderigo longed to slaughter Cassio. Roderigo stabbed Cass io in a brothel. When Othello hears Cassios cries of murder, Othello thinks that it is Iago who stabbed Cassio.Othello is still unaware of Iagos deception and he believed that Iago stabbed Cassio to carry out his revenge. This tragedy wrongly convinces Othello of the validity of Desdemonas alleged unfaithfulness. He returns to the bedroom to kill her. Othello returns to the bedroom where Desdemona is sleeping soundly. He leans to give her one last kiss in the lead he kills her. Desdemona awakens from the kiss and is frightened when Othello tells her to wee-wee to be killed. Othello tells her that he had discovered her affair with Cassio who had just been killed by Iago. sooner she could beg off her side of the story, she breaks down in tears to weep for Cassio. This angers Othello all the more and begins to fence in his wife. Emilia rushes to inform Othello that Cassio has killed Roderigo. When Othello admits that he has killed his wife and that Emilia keep silent about it. Emi lia, afraid and confused calls for help. Montano, Graziano and Iago arrive at the scene. Little by little, Emilia uncovers her husbands deceitfulness. Iago sensing the impending exposure of his evil deeds makes an attempt to silence Emilia with his sword.Iago succeeds at stabbing his wife. Othello disbelievingly realizes his terrible mistake of not bank his wife and killing her out of covert rage. Realizing that his life is now worthless without Desdemona, he takes his own life. Othello and Desdemona are the unfortunate victims of Iagos irrational jealousy and treachery. Even Iagos wife Emilia was not spared of the tragedy. Before Iago becomes conscious of the gravity of his actions, lives have been lost, too much harm has been done to the point that it is beyond repair.
