O murderous slave! O villain![Stabs RODERIGO]
My jaw genuinely dropped when reading this. He just stabbed his so called "friend" so easily without batting an eye. He was originally helping Roderigo, and now he killed him. It still baffles my mind that he did all of this because of a promotion!!
Who’s there? whose noise is this that ones on murder?
Its really aggravating me how easily he manipulates people. He just stabbed Cassio and walked away, and now he is coming back and pretending like he has no idea what is going on.
I have no great devotion to the deed;And yet he hath given me satisfying reasons:3145‘Tis but a man gone. Forth, my sword: he dies
You can really see how Iago's toxicity is easily brainwashing the people surrounding him.
My lord is fall’n into an epilepsy:2470This is his second fit; he had one yesterday.
Poor Othello is having seizures because of all this :(
He hath, my lord; but be you well assured,No more than he’ll unswear.
The way Iago is trying to act all modest and pretend like he doesn't want to SCREAM IT OUT is really aggravating me!
But if I give my wife a handkerchief,—
I don't fully understand this handkercheif expression...
Good madam, do: I warrant it grieves my husband,As if the case were his.
You would think that Iago would have his wife in on his plan, but she seems just as blind as everyone else. Just goes to show how bad of a person Iago is.
Iago. I’ll send her to you presently;And I’ll devise a mean to draw the MoorOut of the way, that your converse and business1590May be more free.
Iago is probably SO happy his plan is working.
I’ll do’t; but it dislikes me.
I feel bad for Cassio because he clearly doesn't want to drink but Iago is manipulating him and he probably just wants to be friends with him.
And, I’ll warrant her, fun of game.
Hes trying to manipulate Cassio to sleep with Desdemona so Othello will fire him!
Iago hath direction what to do;But, notwithstanding, with my personal eyeWill I look to’t
I think that Cassio is a little bit suspicious of Iago because he is still doing it even though Iago is as well
Even now, now, very now, an old black ramIs topping your white ewe.
The fact that Iago went this far just because he didn't get a promotion is very messed up. He is ruining two people being happy over a promotion, which just goes to show you the type of character he will be throughout the play.
In following him, I follow but myself;
By Iago saying "I follow but myself", he is only looking out for himself, and no one else (which should ultimately be a red flag to Roderigo)
By heaven, I rather would have been his hangman
Roderigo is saying that he would rather just kill him because he hired an arithmetician as his lieutenant instead of someone who is experienced, so hes going to suffer in battles.
