Why do Othello trust lago?

There are a few different interpretations about why Iago hates Othello so much he is intent on destroying him. The most obvious is explained in the very first scene, where Iago is talking to Roderigo and expresses his anger at how Othello gave the position of lieutenant to Cassio and not Iago which he believes is unjust, since Cassio only knows "bookish theoric." However later in the play one of Iago's soliloquies explains his (likely paranoid) suspicions that Othello had "bedded Emilia," his wife. There are also theories that Iago is actually in love with Othello so is jealous and hates him for marrying Desdemona, but I would think that the first interpretation would be your best bet.

Write a mini essay No character in Othello is flawless Discuss some of these flaws and how Iago uses to his advantage?

Well...OK... No character in Othello is perfect- this is true. There are two main instance where weaknesses come into play and are exploited by Iago. Michael Cassio, the mathematician who Iago is gunning to displace the whole time, has a known weakness for alcohol. Othello explicitly instructs him not to drink on his shift, but he does regardless. Iago then exploits this weakness, and soon Cassio threatens violence, and ends up stabbing Montano. Iago, when asked later, pretends he had nothing to do with it. This is ultimately what gets Cassio booted from the lieutenancy. The prime example of Iago's exploitation is, of course, Othello. Othello is willing to jump to conclusions about Desdemona and her scandalous (and ostensibly numerous) love affairs with Cassio and other men. All Iago has to do is plant these ideas in Othello's mind, and Othello goes to them himself. Othello is so caught up in rage that he cannot even see that they have only been in Cyprus a few days. These wild affairs behind his back are not even feasible.

Why does Iago get Cassio drunk?

Iago wanted Cassio to drink more wine because he wanted Cassio to be drunk and argumentative when Roderigo would approach him later that night. Iago told Montano that Cassio was drunk every night. He wanted to cast doubt on Othello's judgment for appointing Cassio, by implying that Cassio may be drunk during battle. This led to Othello stripping Cassio of his position. Othello thought that Cassio was irresponsible and dishonourable.

How does Shakespeare use Desdemona's handkerchief dramatically and symbolically?

Dramatically, the handkerchief is a MacGuffin; it is an object which keeps the plot going because of the pursuit of it. Iago gets possession of it then implants the suggestion in Othello's mind that Desdemona has given it away. Othello's pursuit of it becomes his pursuit of evidence to prove adultery. In the end it also is the object which unmasks Iago and brings about the horrible realization of the truth in Othello. The handkerchief symbolizes Othello and Desdemona's love and wedded bliss. He gave it to Desdemona as he gave her his love and asked her to be his wife. Later Iago makes him believe that she has given the handkerchief to Cassio, symbolizing her giving her love and her body sexually to Cassio, which should have been between her and Othello. Finally it is revealed that the handkerchief was stolen, symbolizing that Iago has stolen Othello's love for Desdemona and replaced it with hate, and has stolen their marital happiness from them.
