Why does Iago carefully observe the way Cassio greet Desdemona?

Iago realizes that Cassio greets Desdemona romantically, and with a kiss on the cheek. Supposably that's how you greet the women politely.


How does Iago get back in Othello's good graces?

Iago tells Cassio that he must persuade Othello to reinstate him. He says "the general's wife is now our general" and so the best way to persuade Othello is to get Desdemona to plead on Cassio's behalf. Since Iago has also told Othello that Desdemona and Cassio are having an affair, the harder Desdemona pleads, the worse it is going to look for both her and Cassio.


How does iago manipulate cassio after the lieutenant's humiliating dismissal?

He tells him that the best way for him to get his place back is to get Desdemona to plead with Othello, which would probably be good advice if Iago had not at the same time suggested to Othello that Desdemona was having an affair with Cassio. Because of Iago's suggestion, Desdemona's concern for Cassio looks like confirmation of her having an affair with him.


What plot do lago and roderigo have for cassio?

Iago does the plotting alone; Roderigo is his dupe and has no more idea how he is being used than Cassio does. In Act II Scene 3 Iago makes sure both are drunk and quarrelsome and then eggs Roderigo on so Cassio will fight with him, thus ensuring Cassio's dismissal. In Act IV Scene 2 Iago lies to Roderigo, telling him that Othello is being sent to Mauretania where Roderigo will never have a chance to see Desdemona. Iago tells him that this is only possible because there is a competent replacement for Othello on hand in Cyprus in the person of Cassio. Get rid of Cassio, and Othello must stay in Cyprus. In this way Iago dupes Roderigo into trying to murder Cassio in Act V.


Why does lago say wished to kill roderigo?

Roderigo was becoming aware of the fact that the huge sums of money he had given Iago to help seduce Desdemona had been going directly into Iago's retirement fund. When a conman cannot blow off the mark, either he runs or arranges for him to be killed. Actually Iago wanted Cassio to kill Roderigo but he didn't quite do the job so Iago has to finish it.

What was Iago's plan?

Iago's plan in Shakespeare's "Othello" was to manipulate Othello by planting seeds of jealousy and doubt about his wife Desdemona, ultimately leading to Othello's tragic downfall. Through deceit, lies, and manipulation, Iago is able to manipulate the characters around him to bring about chaos and tragedy.


Is iago jealous of Othello or cassio?

Both. In a way. He is jealous of Othello because he has everything he wants: a high rank and a beautiful wife from a upper class family. He is jealous of Cassio because Othello has promoted him to Lieutenant and not him.


Why didnt Iago simply tell Othello right away that Desdemona and Cassio were having an affair?

If Iago had told Othello right out that they were having an affair, Othello might consider that he had a motive for saying so. It would become an issue of "Who is lying? Iago or Desdemona?" and Othello would probably believe Desdemona. But by planting the seed of suspicion and then feeding it by downplaying it, Iago makes sure that Othello is not even aware that it is Iago that is telling him about the supposed affair. He thinks he's finding it out for himself. This way it does not become a credibility issue between Desdemona and Iago.


Who does iago suspect of having affairs with his wife?

Iago did, but in such a way that Othello thought that it was his own idea. You know the type of thing: "I'd be the last person to say anything, and I don't believe it myself. It's only that some people might get the idea from the way Desdemona looks at Cassio that there's something going on. Not that I do. You'll have to make up your own mind." Of course Iago does it much better.

Jealousy in Othello by Shakespeare?

In the play Othello, many of the characters fall victim to jealousy, causing them to do things they wouldn't normally do. Iago, Emilia, Bianca, Roderigo and Othello all display jealousy throughout the play, though each finds resolution in a different way. Iago displays jealousy from the very beginning of the play. His jealousy quickly spawns thoughts of revenge, and he soon develops a plan to achieve revenge on those he feels have wronged him. From the start of the play, Iago expresses his jealousy of both Cassio and Othello. He is jealous of Cassio for securing the job of lieutenant Iago feels he deserved, and jealous of Othello not only from the promotion of Cassio, but also from his belief that Othello has slept with Emilia. Iago expresses "It is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheets / He has done my office" This insecurity and jealousy he feels leads him to commit acts of revenge. As he becomes fixed on the idea of revenge, Iago speaks in a soliloquy he will not be satisfied "Till I am evend with him, wife for wife, /Or failing so, yet that I put the Moor / At least into a jealousy so strong / That judgment cannot cure"
