God’s will,
Each character (Especially Iago) uses religious beliefs to show or say that something is wrong, or it's not right because "it is sinful or ungodly."

Brabantio (Desdemona's father) does not like the idea of him being with his daughter. Again, shows how racism was presented back then and how colored people were treated.

Othello is very passionate about his relationship with Desdemona. He may not show it (Except for here), but he is truly in love with Desdemona. Will anything ever split the two apart?

Iago had great logic, and thought so quickly on how to react to situations. And he used certain topics to explain why he "hated" or did not like to do certain things like murdering people. The way he lied, was hidden extremely well.

Or else the devil
I noticed religious terms and beliefs were used much in the play. By almost all of the characters. It helps the reader understand when the play was taking place, and shows what they believe (Which is influenced by their personality).
-
I follow him to serve my turn upon him
Iago already showing the the type of character he is, and how he is racist towards Othello for the color of his skin. He's planning to take advantage of him, and mess with him.

Iago is one of my favorite characters in this play due to his intelligence and mind tricks he plays with everyone. How do you trick a good size group of people? You would think, they would figure it out after a while! But, he has some great ideas, and can think on the spot very well. Along with his personality. Iago is easily able to trick anyone.
-
O thou Othello, that wert once so good,Fall’n in the practice of a damnèd slave,What shall be said to
How could Othello control that? He was tricked by a master mind. Don't blame it on Othello, it should be blamed on Iago (Shows how the characters in the book take a side with white people over the colored like Othello, showing racism).

They say karma is a bitch Iago, well. After everything you caused you got caught, and now it may cause him his death (Reference back to where I had asked if Iago was going to get caught and punished, Act 5, Scene 1). Although, he may not die.

My rewrite of Othello has a much different ending, and not as many people die in my rewrite. In fact, no one dies (Don't know what happens to Danny after he saves Lamar in my rewrite), the plot becomes extremely vital. If I was to write the next part of it, the plot would be extremely important, and probably a very short rewrite with three or so acts. Much different ending than mine, much more tragic. Mine is more cliff hanging.
-
O thou dull Moor, that handkerchief thou speak’stofI found by fortune, and did give my husband—
What a snitch! Even after what all of Iago had caused, you would figure his wife would help him (Just because they're husband and wife, and usually you look out for each other, or no). Iago has a reason to call her a whore now.
-
This is thy work.
Iago never gets away with his plan.
Mission failed Iago, you'll get 'em next time.

Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men.
"Once a cheater, always a cheater."
(Even though, Desdemona never cheated on Othello).

Othello is going absolutely insane, and crazy. Basically being turned into a psychopath. Iago's plan is executing perfectly, just the way he wanted it to come out. Now, will Iago get away with all this? Or will he get caught in the action (Reference back to the annotation I made at the end of Act 5, Scene 1 about Iago acknowledging he will either fail or get away with it)?

Reminds me of the Leeroy Jenkin's meme. Othello is just rushing in and wanting to kill right away without thinking of the outcome.

Othello is feeling many emotions coming into this last scene of the play. Almost like Pope in the end of the show Outer Banks. Pope has a similar downfall like Othello. Except he does not kill anyone. Instead he runs out of his extremely important interview for college to help his friends get the gold (Main plot of the show). Then after seeing the plane with the gold fly off, knowing that the gold is highly unlikely to get. He knows his future is ruined. And ends up taking a vape from his friend J.J. Which ultimately leads to the downfall in his character just like Othello with the cheating scandal of Desdemona.
-

Iago says he will either get away with his plan easily, or he will get caught and punished much once caught.
-
Good night, good night.
At this ending line in Act 4 of Scene 3, Desdemona does not want to be effected by women like Emilia who think they can get away with cheating. And in this case, she begs to God that she will not be like these other women.
-
Yes, a dozen; and as many to th’ vantage aswould store the world they played for.But I do think it is their husbands’ faultsIf wives do fall. Say that they slack their duties,And pour our treasures into foreign laps;Or else break out in peevish jealousies,Throwing restraint upon us. Or say they strike us,Or scant our former having in despite.Why, we have galls, and though we have some grace,Yet have we some revenge.
Emilia is trying to show Desdemona that not all women are perfect to a relationship like her, and many cheat on their husband. And that's why Othello is accusing Desdemona of cheating on him. Because lots of women were like that back then, and would do anything to benefit their life.

They are starting to catch on to Iago's tricks. Will we see him change his character and the way he acts as he notices they're catching on? Or will he stay true to what he has been doing?
-
You are a fool.
Iago is becoming more defensive as Emilia talks about when someone accused Emilia of cheating on Iago. He knows he is the one who is setting all of this up. But, why does he become defensive after being aggressive and setting all this up all of a sudden?

Lay thy finger thus, and let thy soul be instructed.Mark me with what violence she first loved theMoor but for bragging and telling her fantasticallies. And will she love him still for prating?

Iago is getting into the head of Roderigo. Trying to get him to notice he can get Desdemona. And is starting to execute "his plan." Iago definitely has something mentally wrong with himself.
