Why did iago want cassio to ask Desdemona for help in restoring Othello's faith in cassio?
If Desdemona asked a favour on Cassio's behalf, it would look to Othello like she was doing it out of an improper love for Cassio. The harder she argues, the more suspicious it seems to Othello.
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.
Circumstances set for Othello by Iago combine to defeat Othello?
Iago sets out to trap Othello by several means. He persuades Desdemona to plead for Cassio and persuades Othello that Desdemona pleading for Cassio proves she is in love with him. He steals the handkerchief, persuades Othello that she has given it away to Cassio, then gives it to Cassio himself. He gets lucky as Cassio gives it to Bianca and she returns it in Othello's sight. He talks to Cassio about Bianca, telling Othello who can see (but not hear) that he is talking about Desdemona. All of this circumstantial evidence bolsters the outright lies that Iago tells about Cassio admitting to having an affair with Desdemona.
Who does Iago tell Cassio to confer with about finding forgiveness from Othello after his brawl in the street?
Desdemona. Iago says that Desdemona is the most influential person with Othello, so Cassio should get her to plead on his behalf. This sounds reasonable, except that Iago has suggested that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair, and this will heighten Othello's suspicions.
How will Iago's advice to Cassio work in Iago's favor?
Iago advises Cassio to ask Desdemona to plead on his behalf. This will help Iago poison Othello's mind, as Desdemona will appear to be doing so out of her (illicit) love for 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.
Why did Iago want Roderigo to anger Cassio?
Iago's plan is to make Cassio drunk and get him into a brawl that will ruin Cassio's reputation and cause him to lose his position. He urges Roderigo to provoke Cassio "to put our Cassio in some action/ that may offend the isle." As usual,Roderigo is duped by Iago's manipulative words and agrees to do this, even though all he ends up with is a sound beating from Cassio. Iago, however, succeeds in getting Cassio dismissed from his lieutenancy to Othello, which plays in toIago's master plan to ruin Othello.
